Subject matter
This decree sets out the model of the application for the inclusion of a genetic resource of forest trees in the National Programme, the manner and extent of the evaluation of genetic resources of forest trees in the seed bank and explantations bank, the content and rules of the documentation on genetic resources of forest trees, the scope of the identification data referred to in Section 2h (1) of the Act and the details of the provision of samples of genetic resources of forest trees and the size of such samples.
Application for inclusion of a genetic resource of forest trees in the National Programme
(K § 2c (3) of the Act)
The model of the application for the inclusion of a genetic resource of forest trees in the National Programme is set out in Annex 1 to this Decree.
Method and scope of evaluation of genetic resources of forest trees in the seed and explantations bank
(K § 2f (3) of the Act)
(1) The evaluation of each seed section shall be carried out prior to the deposit of each section in the seed and explantations bank and at regular intervals for each species of forest species in the National Programme. Prior to the deposit of the seed section in the seed bank and the explantations, the basic qualitative parameters shall be evaluated, namely germination or viability, in the case of the assessment of germination energy germination, number of germination or viable seeds, purity, weight of 1 000 pure seeds in grams. For seed sections stored and reproduced in a seed and explantations bank, germination or viability shall be assessed, in the case of an energy germination evaluation.
(2) The evaluation of the individual sections of the explantations stored and reproduced in the seed and explantations bank shall be carried out once a year. For organogenous explantations, their vitality shall be assessed on the basis of the colour of the leaves, the size of the retained explantation and any contamination of the explantation. In the case of embryogenic explantations, the size, nature of the embryogenic tissue, given by the colour and texture of the tissue and possible contamination of the explantation, shall be monitored. For cryopreserved explantations, standardised conditions of cryoconservation shall be monitored and their regenerative capacity shall be assessed every 10 years.
(1) The designated person's assessment report shall include:
(a) an overview of the sections stored and reproduced in the seed and explantations bank and their characteristics, the size of the sections, the structure of the stocks and the quality assessment of the sections;
(b) details of the provision of samples from the seed bank and the explantations;
(c) a description of the work carried out to store and reproduce genetic resources of forest trees in the seed and explantations bank in the relevant calendar year;
(d) an assessment of the appropriateness of the further deposit of sections in the seed bank and explantations, depending on the evaluation referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3;
(e) information on the financial costs associated with the conservation and reproduction of genetic resources of forest trees in the seed and explantations bank; and
(f) information on the international cooperation of the seed bank and the explantations.
(2) Minimum germination or viability requirements for pure full seeds stored and reproduced in the seed and explantations bank are set out in the National Programme.
(3) The minimum size of seed compartments stored and reproduced in the seed bank and explantations corresponds to the minimum size of the samples referred to in Article 7 (2).
(4) The minimum size of sections of explantations stored and reproduced in the seed and explantations bank is three. The size of an explantation stored and reproduced in a seed bank and explantations is given by one or more apical peaks and three or more apical peaks for organogenous explantations in the induction phase. For embryogenic explantations, at least 0,5 cm2 per culture is determined.
