The essential role of herbaria and taxonomy for the rediscovery and conservation of crop wild relatives endemic to the pampas grasslands of South America
Project summary:
This proposal aims to acquire taxonomic and geographic distribution information on crop wild relatives rare and endemic that occur in the pampas pastures, through visits to Argentine and Uruguayan herbaria. Herbaria are the main source of information about these species, some of them last collected more than 50 years ago.
