Implementation
February 2024
The Eubraswild activity held its final meeting in Catania on 20 February 2024, hosted by the University of Catania, Italy. Partners from Albania, Croatia, Italy, Serbia and Slovenia presented the results of their exploration, collection and characterization of new accessions of Brassica wild relatives. New accessions have been included in EURISCO and will require multiplication before possible inclusion into the European Collection. Characterization was often affected by extreme weather conditions, which caused floods in Slovenia and severe drought in Serbia.
