XVI International Botanical Congess
In the Slovak territory is at present time cultivation of poppy plants free for food and for pharmaceutical purposes. It is the reason why in many areas of Slovakia are still maintained local varieties and populations, which are explored and collected for gene bank by researchers from Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra. Individual genotypes are gradually described and evaluated according to new prepared descriptor list. Text and numerical data are completed by images on the level of leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. Relatively extensive experimental data are included in to computerized catalogue of seeds and to information system for evaluation and passportisation of poppy germplasm - GENOTYPDATA PAPAVER. In our collection, we found significant differences in all evaluated characters.
