Abstract
In addition to the germplasm collected during GRU/ICARDA collecting missions, 3889 cereal, 234 food legume,s and 264 forage germplasm accessions were received from other institutions in 1989/90.
The total number of new accessions, collected or obtained from other sources, was 6007, i.e. an almost 7% increase in GRU holdings. On the other hand GRU/ICARDA provided 11622 samples to breeders at ICARDA, to NARSS and other bona fide users worldwide.
In 1990, the transfer of active collections from the old to the new medium-term store has been completed. Since July 1990, when deposition of germplasm into the base collection started, 18396 seed samples, including 6132 accessions, were transferred to the long-ten storage.
