Study collects genetic resources of vegetable crops in Vietnam, suggesting rich biodiversity presence.
The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and the Plant Resources Center (PRC) of the Vietnamese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have collaborated since 2014 under the Plant Genetic Resources in Asia project to survey the genetic resources available mainly in vegetables in Vietnam. As part of this project, ten field surveys have been carried out throughout Vietnam, mainly in the mountainous regions, since 2014. In July 2024, we conducted a 11th field survey on two areas of Que Phong district and Thuong Duong district in Nghe An province located on the north-central region of Vietnam. As a result, we collected 42 samples of Capsicum (12 samples of Capsicum annuum and 30 C. frutescens), 36 samples of Solanum (29 of Solanum melongena, 2 S. aethiopicum, 2 S. sanitwongsei, 1 S. violaceum and 2 S. torvum), 6 samples of Cucumis (5 Cucumis sativus and 1 C. melo), 5 samples of Cucurbita (3 Cucurbita moschata and 2 Cucurbita sp.), 4 samples of Vigna (Vigna unguiculata) and 1 sample of Trichosanthes (Trichosanthes cochinchinensis), total number of 94 genetic resources consisting of 12 species in 6 genera (including 2 unknown species of Cucurbita), on two areas in the north-central Vietnam. These collected seed samples, except for the two cowpeas for which seeds could not be obtained, will be introduced into Japan under the material transfer agreement (MTA) after the seed cleaning and packing processing at PRC in Vietnam.
