The Project’s collecting efforts in Georgia are coordinated by two partner institutions: the National Botanical Garden of Georgia (NBGG) and the Institute of Botany (IOB) of Ilia State University.
Collectors from the National Botanical Garden and the Institute of Botany of Ilia State University will target crop wild relatives from ten wild genepools: alfalfa, apple, barley, bread wheat, carrot, grasspea, lentil, oat, pea, and vetch. Collecting will take place during the project period of 2015-2016.
