French Network of Biological Resource Centres for Research in Biology, Agronomy and Environment

RARe is a research infrastructure registered on the National Roadmap of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI).

MESRI

The infrastructure is based on five networks, called "pillars", of Biological Resource Centres (BRCs) conserving genetic, genomic and biological resources assembled and characterized by agricultural research, as well as associated data on domestic animals, model or cultivated plants, wild relatives of domesticated animals, forest trees, micro-organisms of agronomic or agri-food interest, micro-organisms and organisms of the environment.

Cabbages and turnips: reuniting old friends!

Know more

As part of the EU's Prima BrasExplor project, numerous farm-grown varieties and wild populations of turnips and cabbages have been collected over a wide climatic gradient. Their continued cultivation depends on their use, which is why we have produced a freely accessible e-book of recipes from four countries (Algeria, France, Italy and Slovenia) in 5 languages.
