IPGRI, CIAT, and CIRAD launches a new world fruits database
A collaborative effort between IPGRI, CIAT, and CIRAD bore fruit as the New World Fruits Database, which collects and compiles information on the edible fruits and nuts of the Americas.
Listing 1256 species, belonging to 303 genera and 69 families, the Database should be a valuable aid to fruit growers, researchers, students and workers in development agencies seeking to understand the diversity of New World fruits. Information includes taxonomic and vernacular nomenclature, uses of fruits and their plants, geographic distribution, germplasm availability, and bibliographic references. Where possible, illustrations are given, together with links to crop experts and Internet sources.
