• Three protocols for germplasm sustainable conservation (207,3 KB)  (final results of the COST Action FA1003, October 2014)

• This document includes:
  - Phytosanitary rules for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) propagation material introduction into EU for germplasm conservation and scientific purposes
  - Field genebank standards for grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.)
  - Vitis spp. operational field genebank collections manual

           Note: These protocols have been formally endorsed by the Vitis WG.

          They were further published in a special issue of the VITIS Journal for Grapevine Research:
