Purpose:
Biodiversity conservation by ex situ propagation, seed production, nurseries establishment, native landscape restoration, and finding partneres for local commercialization of plants and products.
Methodology implemented:
1. Harvesting biodiversity (seeds and cuttings) 2. Propagating the species and collecting seeds in nursery 3. Prepare seed mix and potted plants for native landscape 4. Select germoplasam in order to produce cultivars 5. Native landscape restauration 6. Cultivars plantation and commercialization
Existing results:
1. Ex situ production of seeds of azorean endemic species (e.g. Lotus azoricus, Bellis azorica, Spergularia azorica, Azorina vidalii) 2. Germplasm selection of azorean blueberry and Viburnum treleasei 3. In vito propagation of azorean endemic species (e.g. azorean blueberry, Viburnum treleasei, Prunus azorica) 4. Ex situ germination of azorean species (e.g. Picconia azorica, Morella faya, Calluna vulgaris, Luzula purpureosplendens, Leontodon fillii) 5. In vitro produced plants planted at São Miguel
