Improving the characterisation and conservation of umbellifer crop wild relatives in Europe (CarrotDiverse)
Project
Project code: JKI-ZGO-08-4183
Contract period: 01.01.2017
- 31.12.2018
Purpose of research: Applied research
Carrot (Daucus carota sativus L.) is the most economically significant of the eight crops which are the focus of the Umbellifer Crops WG. Understanding the structure of CWR genepool diversity is an essential first set toward its effective conservation and use. A previous project in the WG focused on the identification of material for inclusion into AEGIS. This project will build on some earlier work looking at carrot CWRs and will use a collaborative phenotypic characterisation programme in combination with Genotyping by Sequencing to identify agronomically significant traits and allelic variants. We will also link with ongoing work outside of ECPGR to undertake preliminary work on the outline of a European component of a global integrated conservation strategy for carrot CWR.
