Triticeae collecting expeditions
High quality research requires access to high quality materials to start with. Gene banks have a lot of valuable materials that are easily and freely available. However, one must be aware of that many errors may have happened during the handling process of the materials. Hence, we have tried to use as much original materials as possible in our research projects. This has led us to arrange collecting expeditions to many parts of the world.
