Prunus in the spotlight

INRAE is spearheading the project to relaunch the Prunus public-private cooperation network to unite stakeholders around plum, cherry, apricot, peach and almond resources.

Financed by the support fund of the French Ministry of Agriculture, the aim of this project is to make an inventory of the resources present in French regional and national collections and to define priority actions for their preservation and description.

The first meeting will be held on 10 February at the Biological Resources Unit Prunus-Juglans at INRAE Bordeaux.
