In the past, the Piedmont Region has promoted and financed research activities aimed at cataloging both autochthonous ecotypes and local agricultural species, including maize (Zea mays L.). These evaluations have allowed to develop optimal strategies for the conservation of the germplasm, and valid selection criteria to stabilize the productions from the qualitative-quantitative point of view with a view to their enhancement as typical niche products, PDO and PGI brands.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the partnership has the following objectives:<\/p>\n At the end of the project, the partnership expects to: carry out a characterization of three maize ecotypes, a seed production of 7 Piedmontese maize genetic resources characterized by a suitable level of genetic uniformity; identify the equipment necessary to start up the production chain of seed; identify the corporate compliance characteristics necessary for the fulfillment of requests regarding the production of seed of conservation varieties; and finally define a seed production protocol, with the appropriate agronomic and selection techniques for the production of certified seed.<\/p>\n The results obtained will be presented through the organization of dissemination meetings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Varieta\u0300 piemontesi di mais COMUNITA\u0300 DEL CIBO E ITINERARI DELLA BIODIVERSITA\u0300.
