A special collection of crop wild relatives of leek collected in Greece.
Description
The collection includes the three crop wild relatives of leek, collected in Greece in 2009:
- Allium ampeloprasum
- Allium bourgeaui
- Allium commutatum
The number of accessions will increase over the coming years as regeneration of the material is slow.

The accessions have been obtained under a Material Transfer Agreement (see right) in which it is stipulated that the material can be used freely only for research purposes. In case the material will be used in a commercial context then a specific agreement with the Greek authorities is needed. Ordering the material can be done via contacting Rik Lievers.
