Abstract
In continuation of collecting missions in 1980, 1981 and 1982a further mission has been carried out in South Italy jointly by staff members of the Istituto del Germoplasma, Bari, and the Zentralinstitut fur Genetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung, Gatersleben, in July 1983 for studying and collecting indigenous forms of cultivated plants and their wild relatives. 277 samples, mainly of cereals, grain legumes and vegetables have been collected. The material represents highly variable old land-races; this is especially true for wheat, maize, french beans, faba beans andBrassica spp. In some fields of the Sila Mts. introgressions fromSecale montanum into cultivated rye could be observed. The results of this mission stress the necessity for continuing the exploration of plant genetic resources in South Italy.
