TARGETS Indicator Targets or Challenges Availability: % collection which is clean (of seed-borne pathogens of quarantine risk), 90% accessions in the viable, in sufficient seed number to be 1 current costed made immediately available for collection international distribution from medium term storage Security: % collection held in long-term 90% accessions in storage conditions in two locations and seed collections also in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. For clonal crops the target is for 50% of the 90% accessions in in 2 collection to be held in cryopreservation in vitro collections (long- two locations, with an intermediary target term target 50% of 90% of the collection to be held in slow accessions in growth conditions in vitro in two locations cryopreservation) Data availability: % collection with 90% accessions in the 3 minimum passport and/or characterization collection data available online Quality Management System (including risk Minimum elements of 4 management and user satisfaction) QMS are in place. www.croptrust.org 16.01.2015

CHALLENGES Indicator Targets or Challenges Distribution of diversity: number of To ensure that a significant discrete accessions distributed in a proportion of the diversity in 5 single year and over a ten-year the collection is explored period and used. Distribution of samples: number of To increase distribution to 6 samples disseminated in a single more countries and more year and over a ten-year period users Increased efficiency: examples include days between harvest and storage; years since previous 7 Increase storage efficiency regeneration, duration between subcultures for clonal crops – to be refined Maintain costs per accession Cost per accession: per accession within an appropriate range, cost of routine genebank 9 comparable with other operations genebanks www.croptrust.org 16.01.2015
