Abstract
Current biological diversity is the basis for future agricultural and food sustainability, with plant genetic resources being its fundamental component. Its conservation is very important for its present and future use, either directly with the use of the conserved accessions, or through the incorporation of the specific genes that they contain in the plant genetic improvement programs. In order to use this material, it is necessary to know it and this leads us to characterize and evaluate it through the study of descriptors. This document offers the possibility of carrying out the query and search for useful characters of the entries of the Vicia faba Nuclear Collection conserved in the IFAPA Germplasm Bank.
