The Project’s collecting efforts in Italy are being coordinated by the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Pavia (UNIPV-DSTA).
Collectors from the University of Pavia will target crop wild relatives from eight wild genepools: alfalfa, barley, bread wheat, carrot, grasspea, oat, pea, and vetch. Collecting will take place during the project period of 2013-2015.
