Characterization for Multipurpose Exploitations of Genetic Resources from the Germplasm Collection of Pasture Species Owned by the CNR-ISPAAM in Sassari, Italy

This paper reports the results of genetic resources characterization of some pasture species from the germplasm collection held at ISPAAM-CNR in Sassari, Sardinia, Italy. According to the peculiarities of each species, some of the uses suggested by the experimental results were phytoremediation, wildfi re prevention, biomass production for bioenergy, forage production and multiple uses, bioactive compounds for health care of domestic animals.
