| Description of attributes provided in the checklist for each taxon and main bibliographic sources. These attributes were used as criteria for the identification of CWR and WHP in Italy and for the prioritization process. | |||
| Inventory information | Fields | Explanation | Main sources of information |
| Crop Wild Relatives and Wild Harvested Plants | CWR, WHP | Whether the taxon is a CWR (species of the same genus or related with cultivated plants) or a WHP (wild species harvested for utility indipendently by actual economic importance). | CWR (as defined by Maxted et al. 2006 and refs. therein) and WHP (as defined by Magos Brehm et al. 2008) were deducted on the basis of the information mentioned below and following the Crop Wild Relative Catalogue for Europe and Mediterranean (Kell et al. 2005, 2008) and Landucci et al. 2014. |

| Genetic relationship with the crop: Gene Pool (GP) | GP1A, GP1B, GP2, GP3 | GP1A (cultivated form), GP1B (wild or weedy forms of the crop), GP2 (less closely related species with the crop) and GP3 (species not closely related with the crop). In database GP are reported in the same order of "Cultivated plant related" | Harlan and de Wet (1971).

| Genetic relationship with the crop: Taxon Group (TG) | TG1A, TG1B, TG2, TG3, TG4, TG5 | TG1A (cultivated crop taxa), TG1B (taxa within the same species as the crop), TG2 (taxa within the same series or section as the crop), TG3 (taxa within the same subgenus as the crop), TG4 (taxa within the same genus as the crop), TG5 (taxa within the same tribe as the crop) | Maxted et al. 2006. |
