Genetic Resources Unit

The Genetic Resources Unit (GRU) has a remit for the collection, conservation, characterization, documentation and research study of a range of vegetable crops and their wild relatives.

The core strategic work of the GRU is supported by Defra. The Unit is also active in various International crop working groups and networks in the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR), and has close links with the horticulture group at the Centre for Genetic Resources the Netherlands (CGN).
