Pre-breeding in a rational global Pre-breeding in a rational global system for system for ex situex situ conservation conservation
International imperativesInternational imperativesInternational imperativesInternational imperatives
• GPA calls on countries to: “develop an efficient goal-oriented, economically efficient and
sustainable system of ex situ conservation”
• ITPGRFA calls on Parties to: “cooperate to promote the development of an efficient and
sustainable system of ex situ conservation”
Birth of the TrustBirth of the TrustBirth of the TrustBirth of the Trust
• Established under international law Oct. 2004
• Jointly founded by FAO and Bioversity (on behalf of CGIAR)
• Endowment fund target currently $260 million Fund at $80 mill long-term grants ($1.8 mill/year)
+ project funds (e.g. Gates Foundation)
• Essential element of funding strategy of ITPGRFA
• Technical framework is Global Plan of Action

The State of the World - ChallengesThe State of the World - ChallengesThe State of the World - ChallengesThe State of the World - Challenges
• A lot of duplication A lot of un-duplicated accessions
• Lack of resources Inadequate equipment, facilities for storage
• Material dying• Little international distribution from many
collections

• Collecting in face of climate change etc. Especially CWR (only 10% of holdings)
• Demand for impact (i.e. use) Decline of public sector plant breeding
• Interest in underutilized crops• More, better access to data and germplasm• More, better data

• Finished strategies Banana, barley, breadfruit, cassava, chickpea, coconut,
faba beans, grass pea, lentil, maize, oats, pigeon pea, potato, rice, sorghum, strawberry, sweet potato, taro, wheat (+triticale, rye).
• Next Beans, cowpea, finger millet, pearl millet, yam.
• All regional strategies done Via regional PGR networks

• Regeneration of unique, local, threatened material 21 Annex 1 crops, >200 collections, 80,000 accessions
identified by expert consultations, regional/crop strategies, regional networks
safety duplication
• Safety back-up at Svalbard International Seed Vault from the regenerations of seed crops
in-trust international seed collections

The future of genebanksThe future of genebanksThe future of genebanksThe future of genebanks
• Outsource some storage/distribution functions• Collaborate on genotyping• Focus on phenotyping (networks?)• Share data • Become users
Need more than just “better links” to users!• “Crown jewels” are not the accessions but the
products
