INIA-CRF (CSIC) Plant genetic resources for agriculture and food active collection

The mission of the CRF is to contribute to preserve and sustainably use of genetic diversity of native plant varieties and neglected old varieties. Thus, the CRF conserves and uses landraces, crop wild relatives and other species that are no-longer-used but which have genetic potential value for food and agriculture, making available the heritage of Spanish agrobiodiversity, which is key for Agrofood Innovation as well as for the fulfilment of the environmental objectives of sustainable development. The term Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) refers to this group of materials. One of the main CRF's functions is the Conservation and Characterization of an important part of this diversity such are the Active Collections of Winter Cereals (wheat, barley, rye, avena) and Grain Legumes (chickpea, lentils, vetch, common bean) and some industrial crops (sunflower, cotton). At July 2022 that collections were composed by 22626 accessions identified by passport data established following the FAO/Biodiversity Multicrop Passport Descriptors including: identification code in holding institution, taxonomic information and common and local name, data of the collection site, biological status, acquisition sources and storage condition. More information about this collection and a template to request this material are available at www.bancocrf.inia.es.

作物资源保护中心（CRF）的使命是助力保护并可持续利用本土植物品种与被忽视的古老品种的遗传多样性。据此，该中心对地方品种、作物野生近缘种以及其他不再被广泛种植但具备粮食与农业遗传潜力价值的物种进行保藏与利用，旨在开放西班牙农业生物多样性的遗传资源宝库——这一资源既是农业食品创新的关键支撑，亦是实现可持续发展环境目标的重要基础。粮食与农业植物遗传资源（Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture，简称PGRFA）这一术语即指代上述种质材料类群。
作物资源保护中心的核心职能之一，是对该类多样性中的重要组成部分开展保藏与性状鉴定工作，包括冬谷类作物（小麦、大麦、黑麦、燕麦）、籽粒豆类作物（鹰嘴豆、小扁豆、巢菜、普通菜豆）以及部分工业作物（向日葵、棉花）的活跃种质收集库。
截至2022年7月，上述收集库共计包含22626份种质材料，每份材料均配有遵循联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）/生物多样性多作物种质护照描述规范（FAO/Biodiversity Multicrop Passport Descriptors）编制的种质护照数据，内容涵盖保藏机构识别代码、分类学信息、通用名与地方名、采集地数据、生物学状态、获取来源以及贮藏条件。
