Description

The CNR-IBBR-DNAFOR collection includes more than 1,600 records of cryopreserved DNA and tissue samples of several forest tree species which have been collected during past and current national and EU projects, with the aim of investigating the genetic make-up of their populations and assessing their infraspecific biodiversity across Europe, from the biogeographical to the local level.
