Survey for The Conservation of Agrobiodiversity in Three Italian Linguistic (Occitan, Croatian and Franco-Provençal) Islands.

Abstract

This study is a continuation of a research started in 1996 to study and safeguard theagrobiodiversity in Italian linguistic islands by the Institute of Plant Genetics of the C.N.R. ofBari (Italy) and the Institute of Crop Science of Kassel University (Germany). In 2011additional three collecting missions were carried out in the Franco-Provençal, Croatian, andOccitan linguistic areas. In all 146 accessions were collected belonging mainly to landracesof cereals, pulses and vegetables. Even if these linguistic areas still conserve worthy cropgenetic resources (e.g. rye and wheat in Occitan districts, common beans in Franco-Provençalvillages of Apulia region), a strong genetic erosion of the most typical crops was recorded.Safeguarding these crops both ex situ and in situ is thus a matter of urgency.
