Abstract
Armenia, located in the northeast of the Armenian Highlands, is one of the globally significant centers of agrobiodiversity and stands out for its rich composition of crop wild relatives, landraces and wild food plants.
The country’s diverse climate and ecosystems favor growing vegetables like beet, carrot, lettuce, and more.
Taking into account the numerous challenges of our time, such as climate change, genetic erosion, natural disasters and conflicts, the targeted measures were initiated to enhance the conservation of the biodiversity of vegetable crops of local origin to prevent genetic erosion and increase the potential for their use in breeding programs for the needs of present and future generations in ensuring the sustainability of agricultural systems.
The primary focus has been locating, mapping, and gathering preserved landraces and outdated cultivars of vegetables.
Additionally, the regeneration and multiplication of seed collection accessions include old traditional and modern Armenian cultivars.
The ultimate goal was to ensure the safety duplication of these seeds.
