The conservation and revaluation of biodiversity initiated by S.C.D.L. Buzau and Genetics and Breeding Laboratory aimed to study Amaranthaceae species. These species were neglected until now both scientifically and as crop. The appeareance of these species is not known but it is well known that were here since ancient times. A proof is the existence of endemic populations and a wide range of biotypes which contains 16 species of Celosia and Amaranthus with origin in the Romanian geographic area.The research of S.C.D.L. Buzau during 2005-2012 highlighted new valuable data, especially in what concerns their multiple uses and wide range of expressivity of these species. This study of 3 new obtained lines is a step towards this species. Data and germplasm source accumulated till now guarantee that in the future we can enrich scientific data.
