DESCRIPTOR LIST FOR FIG (Ficus carica L.)

PASSPORT - Accession and collection data

1 - European Minor Fruit Tree Species Database (EMFTSD) number: unique numerical identifier for an accession;

8 - Country keeping the accession: two letters acronym of country in which the partner and the collection is located (se attached list);

9 - Collection site: if one Institution holds accessions in more than one environmentally different field, each field should have an identifier site number;
