Crop-specific standards
- Crop-specific genebank standards for orthodox seeds (agreed by the Avena WG, March 2016)
Note: these standards will be sent to the Steering Committee for endorsement. - Collecting, conservation, viability testing, regeneration and multiplication, characterization/evaluation, distribution (74,3 KB) [draft in AEGIS progress report, July 2008]
A Task force was established in October 2010 to draft protocols on regeneration of wild accessions.
