Population | Origin | Status and uses | Short description | Estimation of undergone bottlenecks |
Biancoperla | Veneto region, North-East of Italy | Traditional populations of the region, still cultivated and bred in the region of origin, destined to flour for human consumption (polenta, traditional dish) | Very tall and very late plants. White small grain. | Varieties still cultivated in their region of origin, no specific bottleneck. |
Sponcio | Veneto region, North-East of Italy | Tall and very late plants. Small orange pointed grain. | ||
Narguilé | Irak but cultivated in France for about 10 years | Started to be cultivated by some farmers in France in 2002 for grain (animal feeding) and silage. | Very tall and late plants. Yellow grain. | Cultivation started in France from 1000 kernels, strong bottleneck |
Grand Roux Basque (GRB) | Spain Basque Region and was given to some people of French Basque Region (South West of France) | Quite early. Reddish corned grain | Difficult to estimate because the story seems quite old. There might has been a strong bottleneck when the variety arrived in France but it is quite old (really more than for the other varieties) | |
Italien | Italy | Quite late. Light yellow grain (with a lot of nuances from white to rose) | This variety arrived at AgroBio Périgord at the beginning of the 2000 with 20 ears. There was quite a strong bottleneck. |
