Description
CYNARA field collection in Bari contains some 50 globe artichoke varieties and an F1 segregating population. The artichoke is a highly heterozygous species and cannot be stored as seeds. Plants are maintained following standard agricultural practices, and it is necessary to detach offshooots from the mother plants also for assuring the replacement of missing samples due to environmental conditions and the presence of voles. The artichoke is a plant with a high nutraceutical value, and the distinct varieties, varying for flower head colour/shape/phenology, may countain different amounts of the beneficial compounds.
