Germplasm Resources
Curated germplasm indexLoading wild coverage…Loading established records…
Wild taxa are prioritized for breeding discovery. Accepted names, reported names, identifiers, ploidy, and evidence remain traceable to their sources.
Wild taxon coverage
Accepted species, natural hybrids, and infraspecific taxa in the current Kew/WCVP backbone. Historical names remain searchable as reported names.
| Taxon | Rank and ploidy | Native range | Core breeding value | Evidence |

Breeding-relevant materials
Representative living accessions, research materials, public sequence samples, and type vouchers. Availability is a dated evidence snapshot, not a promise of distribution.
