  1. Management and Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources in Lithuania Bronislovas Gelvonauskis Plant Gene Bank 2010

  2. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on October 12, 2010

  3. Institutions involved in PGR conservation • Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture - agricultural crops • Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture - horticultural crops • Vilnius University Botanical Garden - ornamental plants • Institute of Botany - medicinal and aromatic plants • Lithuanian University of Agriculture – Vicia and other legumes • Kaunas Botanical Garden – small fruits

  4. Plants conserved in collections (1) • Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture –cereals: Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Lupunus; grasses: Poa, Trifolium, Festuca, Lolium, Phleum;technical crops: Linum, Solanum, Beta; • Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture –fruits and berries:Malus, Pyrus, Prunus, Ribes, Fragaria; vegetables: Cucumis, Daucus, Lycopersicon, Allium, Raphanus; • Vilnius University Botanical Garden –Paeonia, Iris, Gladiolus, Clematis;

  5. Plants conserved in collections (2) • Institute of Botany –Origanum, Thymus, Allium, Carum, Acorus; • Lithuanian University of Agriculture –Vicia angustifolia, Vicia villosa, Lathyrusand some other legumes; • Kaunas Botanical Garden –Humulus, Vaccinium, Oxycoccus, Viburnum, Actinidia (arguta, kolomikta), Lonicera;

  6. Number of accessions • Cereals – 270, • Grasses – 345, • Technical crops – 46, • Fruits and berries – 343, • Vegetables – 83, • Medicinal and aromatic plants – 174, • Ornamental plants - 70

  7. Plant breeding (1) • Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture: cereals – Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare, Avena sativa, Secale cereale, Lupunus luteus; forage grasses – Trifolium pratense, Trifolium repens, Medicago sativa, Phleum pratense, Lolium perenne, Festulolium,  Festuca pratensis, Dactylis glomerata, Poa pratensis; turf grasses – Poa pratensis, Festuca rubra, Festuca ovina, Agrostis capillaris, Lolium perenne

  8. Plant breeding (2) • Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture: fruits and berries – Malus domestica, Pyrus communis, Prunus domestica, Ribes nigrum, Ribes uva-crispa , Prunus cerasus, Fragaria ananassa, vegetables - Cucumis sativus, Lycopersicon esculentum, Raphanus sativus, Daucus sativus, Beta vulgaris var. conditiva, Allium sativum, Brassica oleracea convar. capitatavar. alba DC,

  9. Plant breeding (3) • Use of wild relatives in the breedingprogrammes: Forage grasses and turf grasses breeding • Topical issues for crop wild relatives in Lithuania: - national inventory of CWR, - CWR strategy and action plan, - establishment of genetic plots for CWR in situ.
