PGR Forum Crop Wild Relative Information System: case studies

The case studies presented here have been created by PGR Forum participants to test and illustrate the PGR Forum data model for management of CWR information. A link to the XML schema corresponding to the data model can be found at the top of the page. Data coverage varies between the case studies and shows different degrees of data availability, especially at population and site location level. Most case studies show data for a taxon within one country, but some e.g. Arnica montana and Lupinus angustifolius show data for more than one country.
