WP Title: Characterisation and evaluation

Lead Partner: 0

Participating Partners: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13

Objectives:

-The definition of descriptors and their application to the collected plant material will be carried out by partners 1 and 4, with advice of partners 5 and 9.

-Where determination is less than certain (including hybrids) or based on possible autapomorphic characters, species will be flagged for special investigation using molecular markers (WP-05).
