Title
UK Plant Genetic Resources Group
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Genetic Resources Unit (HRIGRU) developed from the Vegetable Gene Bank (VGB) built in 1980 at the National Vegetable Research Station at Wellesbourne. The Wellesbourne site was reorganised as the main site of Horticulture Research International and in April 2004 became Warwick HRI, a department of the University of Warwick. The HRIGRU developed to reflect a broader remit for the collection, conservation, characterization, documentation and research study of a range of vegetable crops and their wild relatives. The core strategic work of the Warwick HRIGRU is supported as a Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs ( Defra ) Commissioned project. The Unit is also active in various International crop working groups and networks in the European Cooperative Programme for Crop Genetic Resources Networks (ECP/GR), and has close links with the horticulture group of the Centre for Genetic Resources the Netherlands (CGN).
