The Estonian National Inventory

• until 1993 accession s in VIR and breeders
  working collections
  
• 1994 - activities on preservation of plant
  genetic resources in Estonia were initiated in
  co-operation with the Nordic Gene Bank
  
• 1997 The National Council on PGRFA was
  established
  
• 1999 - The gene bank of the Jõgeva PBI was set up
  (financial support was provided by the Nordic
  Council of Ministers)
  
• A national PGR programme was formally approved
  and finances allocated by the Government on
  14.08.2002
  
• 2003 preparation of law on PGR
• The Estonian NI is maintained by the genebank of
  the Jõgeva Plant Breeding Institute
  
• The number of PGR accessions that would be
  considered part of the national inventory is
  approximately 2000
  
• approximately 70 species are represented

• 160 accessions of potato in field collection
• 3500 accessions in breeders field collections

Plant Biotechnological Research Centre EVIKA of
the Estonian Agricultural University

• In vitro preservation of agricultural and
  horticultural crops
  
• 1300 accessions of 34 species
• 800 meristemclones of 420 potato varieties,
  breeding material and landraces
  

6
Polli Horticultural Institute of the Estonian
Agricultural University

• Breeding and research centre of fruit crops
• Preservation of fruit trees and berry plants
• 900 accessions of 14 species
• 93 varieties of an Estonian origin

7
The Estonian National inventory

• Major challenges and constraints
• Collaboration between all maintainers of
  germplasm
  
• All relevant information on ex situ collections
  has to be documented in the central NI database
  
• The solutions for solving the constraints are in
  the effective collaboration between all partners
  on the national and international level-

8
The Estonian National Inventory

• Development of the national inventory
• The national inventory has to be continued for
  elaboration of existing private collections
  
• Survey of private collections shall assure
  preservation of an unique Estonian germplasm,
  which is under the threat of loss presently
  
• There is an intention to collect all relevant
  information on all collections of Estonia into
  one central database to increase the value and
  efficiency of the collections
