A checklist of the cultivated plants of Ustica (Italy)
1999
Hammer, K. | Laghetti, G. | Perrino, P.
The small island of Ustica north of Sicily has been investigated for its plant genetic resources in 1997. A checklist of the agri- and horticultural crop plants comprises more than 110 species. Some of the species show still a large infraspecific variation but genetic erosion could be also found. Rare material has been collected for the conservation in genebanks. The considerable agrobiodiversity and the ongoing evolution as evidenced by introgression from wild relatives to several cultivated species and vice versa suggest the development of an on-farm conservation for the island. Nature protection and traditional farm management should develop an integrated approach.
