The French National Collection of forage and turf species (grasses and legumes).

Citation

Sampoux J, Fourtier S (2012). The French National Collection of forage and turf species (grasses and legumes).. BRC Forage and turf, INRA Lusignan. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/zvm9gz accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-06-16.

Description

Academic scientists from INRA (French national agronomic research institute) and breeders from French seed companies have collected natural populations, landraces and old cultivars of grass and legume species bred for forage and turf usage. These genetic sources are maintained as seed lots in cold storage by INRA. Geographical coordinates express collection site coordinates in the case of natural populations and storage site coordinates in the case of landraces and old cultivars.
