IBADER of the University of Santiago de Compostela, as coordinating beneficiary of LIFE INSULAR project, has resumed the collection of plant material together with the specialized team in micropropagation of threatened plant species from the AgroBioTech for Health research group of the University of Vigo. This material will serve to produce plants of the characteristic species of island habitats, which will be used during their restoration works.
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.
