Last day 6 the IBADER of the University of Santiago de Compostela, as coordinating beneficiary of LIFE INSULAR project, has begun the collection of plant material for the reproduction of the characteristic species of island habitats, which will be used during their restoration works.
For this task, a external assistance is available from a team specialized in micropropagation of threatened plant species from the AgroBioTech fuere Health research group of the University of Vigo.
The production of its own reproduction material allows LIFE INSULAR to introduce specimens of local and compatible origin, avoiding the use of allochthonous ecotypes that can cause genetic contamination.
