  2. 7.1.11 - Mature leaf width (cm) (7.1.11) Recorded at the widest point
  3. 7.1.12 - Leaf growth habit (attitude) (7.1.12) 7.1.12 - Leaf growth habit (attitude)
  4. 7.1.13 - Leaf hairiness (7.1.13) 7.1.13 - Leaf hairiness
  5. 7.1.15 - Leaf dissection (7.1.15) See figure 4
  6. 7.1.16 - Leaf colour (7.1.16) 7.1.16 - Leaf colour
  7. 7.1.2 - Plant diameter (cm) (7.1.2) Measure extremity of plant. Record at flowering (first umbel opened)
  8. 7.1.3 - Length of basal primary leaflet (cm) (7.1.3) 7.1.3 - Length of basal primary leaflet (cm)
  9. 7.1.5 - Petiole thickness (mm) (7.1.5) Record at the thickest point, at the time of full development of the foliage (see fig. 3)
  10. 7.1.6 - Petiole shape in trasverse section (7.1.6) See figure 3
  11. 7.1.7 - Anthocyanin colouration in petiole (7.1.7) Observe on the inside of the petiole
  12. 7.1.8 - Petiole hairiness (7.1.8) 7.1.8 - Petiole hairiness
  13. 7.1.9 - Number of mature leaves per plant (7.1.9) 7.1.9 - Number of mature leaves per plant
  14. 7.2.1 - Bolting tendency (7.2.1) Bolting is a sudden and premature shift to stem elongation before the root has thickened properly. Bolting often occurs if temperature is too low, especially when carrots are grown under subtropical winter conditions. Carrots are very prone to bolting at the 5 to 8-leaf stage, whereas the risk is much smaller at the 3 to 4-laf stage and after the 8-leaf stage.

  20. 7.8.1 - Umbel type (7.8.1) See figure 9
  21. 7.8.14 - Flower colour (7.8.14) 7.8.14 - Flower colour
  22. 7.8.16 - Colour of the central flower of the umbellet (7.8.16) 7.8.16 - Colour of the central flower of the umbellet

Banco Nacional de Germoplasma Vegetal Policy

The “Banco Português de Germoplasma Vegetal” (BPGV) conserves living seed and plant samples of mainly Portuguese crops and their wild relatives.

BPGV ensures that the genetic resources that support our food supply are both secure in the medium and long term for future generations and available for use by farmers, plant breeders, and researchers.

These collections are important to ensure that crop plants, which may contain genes to resist disease, provide enhanced nutrition, or survive in changing or harsh environments do not become endangered or extinct over time.

The BPGV located in Braga, Portugal maintains clonal and seed collections of the most important crops, such as cereals, grain legumes, vegetables, medicinal and aromatic plants, forage, pasture and fruit species.

The BPGV is maintained as a global public good under the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA).

BPGV is the custodian of one of the largest germplasm collections, with more than 10,000 accessions maintained as seeds and living plants, and recently started a cryopreservation programme.
