Resources

During the Soviet era, the study of plant genetic resources on post-soviet area was led and coordinated by the All Union Research Institute of Plant Industry named after N.I. Vavilov in Saint-Petersburg (VIR). Collected information and knowledge were documented and is available in multiple scientific papers, which are mainly published in Russian. However since the break-up of the Soviet Union and due to lack of funds to support surveys in the period of economic transition from centralized to market driven economy in the countries of the region, those information and knowledge became outdated.

Within the Project vast data on current status of conservation and utilization of target fruit crops and their wild relatives has been collected. Such information is often critical for making right decisions and planning actions on their conservation. We are inviting you to visit the links bellow and hope that the information provided there will be useful and helpful for you.
