Description of the project/initiative
Domains covered by the project/initiative:
- Plant genetic resources (PGR)
Number of partners: 2

Project/initiative to lead to the initiation of further projects/initiatives
– The method proposed can be used in other species or for other wild relatives of peach. The materials released (introgression lines) have interest for genetic analysis and as parents in commercial breeding
