Collecting of plant genetic resources in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Intensive research of plant genetic resources has a long tradition in the Czech Republic. Crop varieties of the Czech and World assortments had been gathered, evaluated, used in research and breeding, and conserved in the Czech gene bank since fifties. The first collecting expeditions for landraces were organised in the seventies and eighties. Czech gene bank understood and highlighted the importance crop wild relatives (CWR) in 1989 and proposed a programme for increasing of their proportion within gene bank collections. The first collecting of CWR started in 1990 and regular annual collecting in 1993. Altogether 27 collecting expeditions have been organised and 4 618 seed samples have been collected in the Czech territory. Native CWR successfully fulfilled the gap in the Czech Gene Bank. Czech Republic is diverse in ecological conditions and habitat types, so the amount of CWR on its territory is very high. The most often collected samples are fodder legumes, grasses, medicinal, aromatic and endangered plants. Germplasm erosion was very intensive in the case of landraces and old cultivars. Landraces of seed propagated species are very rare in the Czech territory, more common are among the fruit trees. CWR and landraces are important for breeding, for increasing the diversity of agricultural landscape, as feed sources for pollinators or in case of legumes as fixators of atmospheric nitrogen. Retrospective analyses of collecting expeditions and gathered accessions are outlined and discussed in the article.
