Collections
Last update: 31 August 2023
The GAMéT Biological Resource Center currently houses several collections of tropical species: rice, sorghum, maize and cotton, which are our main collections, as well as cowpea, groundnut, millet and Medicago.
In support of research, we participate in scientific projects to enrich our existing collections. We collaborate with scientific teams to create new collections to meet needs and facilitate access to new biological resources.
