• Resumen

  • The preservation of plant biodiversity of Bulgarian flora is the main priority in the scientific activities of IPGR – Sadovo that is a part of the National programme in Plant Genetic resources through realization of the “Conservation, Management and Use of PGR in Bulgaria” Project. The main goal is the conservation of the national plant biodiversity. Modern agriculture is based on a limited range of varieties and a few species.

    Generations before us have used countless local forms with large genetic variation, even within one country and region. The conservation and use of old plant material provides researchers, now and in the future, with valuable germplasm resistant to biotic and abiotic factors, many of which are stored only in the gene bank of IPGR – Sadovo.
