Evaluation of the diversity of wild and growing species of interest as vegetables for bio-morphometric, biochemical and genetic traits of interest

Abstract
The great diversity of wild and growing species of interest as vegetable is a key point for the production and product innovation and for providing health food by sustainable and resilient crops-genotypes for the agro-ecological transition. The data acquired by the bio-morphometric, biochemical and genetic will help to design new agriculture farming methods and techniques based on the large use of agro-biodiversity
