Cultivar Name Clearance. Breeders in the United States are encouraged to have proposed names for new cultivars checked for duplication. The National Small Grains Collection will be glad to assist you. Send the proposed name to: Harold E. Bockelman, USDA-ARS-NSGC, P.O. Box 307, Aberdeen, ID 83210, Fax 208-397-4165, nsgchb@ars-grin.gov. If desired, more than one name may be submitted, listed in order of preference. This will save considerable time if a conflict is found with the first name. Available records (GRIN, CI/PI cards, variety files, etc.) here at Aberdeen are checked for conflicts with the proposed name. If a conflict is found (previous use of the name for that crop), the breeder is requested to submit a different name. If no conflicts are found, the requested name is forwarded to the Federal Seed Lab, Agricultural Marketing Service where the proposed name is checked against the databases they maintain. The Agricultural Marketing Service does not guarantee that its findings are the final word since their is no single, complete name database. This clearance procedure generally requires about four weeks. Trademark searches should be done by the breeder online at http://www.uspto.gov.
Elite Germplasm
Requested. Breeders are encouraged to consider
submitting their elite lines for inclusion in the National Small Grains
Collection (NSGC). Of special interest
are lines that have been in uniform nurseries, but are not to be released as
cultivars. Historically, uniform
nurseries been the testing-grounds for the most advanced, elite germplasm from
the various public and private breeding programs. Entries in uniform nurseries and other breeding materials that
are never released as cultivars are still of potential value to breeders,
pathologists, entomologists, and other researchers. Breeders should submit 200-500 g of untreated seed to the NSGC (address: P.O. Box 307, Aberdeen, ID
83210). Seed from outside of the United
States should be sent to the USDA Plant Germplasm Quarantine Center (address:
Bldg. 580, BARC-East, Beltsville, MD 20705) with enclosed forwarding
directions. Provide a description of
the germplasm, including: donor (breeder, institution); botanical and common
name; cultivar name and/or other identifiers (breeder line or selection number,
etc.); pedigree; descriptive information (of important traits and special characteristics);
and growth habit. Assignment of a PI
number and inclusion in the NSGC makes the germplasm available for research
purposes to bona fide scientists in the U.S. and worldwide. Please note that a different procedure
applies if you are obtaining Crop Science
registration. Follow directions
provided by the crop registration committee.
Guidelines for
Exporting Seed. All seed sent to a foreign country should be
inspected and receive a phytosanitary certificate. In most cases a fee payable to APHIS (Animal & Plant Health
Inspection Service) is required to cover the cost of the pc. You may wish to work with APHIS personnel
in your state or your State Department of Agriculture to obtain a phytosanitary
certificate. Also, please be aware of
any import permits and additional declarations that certain importing countries
may require to accompany the shipment.
Guidelines for Importing Seed.
Any scientist importing seed should be aware of any restrictions that
apply. USDA-APHIS personnel can provide
current information on applicable restrictions.
Barley
Genetic Stocks Collection
An Hang
The Barley Genetic Stocks
Collection that was previously stored at Colorado State University and at the
USDA-ARS National Seed Storage Laboratory, Fort Collins, CO, was transferred to
the USDA-ARS National Small Grains Germplasm Research Facility (NSGGRF) at
Aberdeen in 1994. The Barley Genetic
Stock Collection accessions are maintained at the NSGGRF and assigned GSHO
(Genetic Stock Hordeum) numbers as unique identifiers for each
accession. Over 2,500 GSHO are
incorporated into the GRIN database.
Additional samples were sent to the NSSL for long-term storage. Also maintained at the NSGGRF are barley
aneuploid stocks including a complete set of primary trisomic, eleven
telocentric trisomics, and six acrocentric trisomics. A set of world collection desynaptic mutants and a set of
translocation stocks collected by Dr. R.T. Ramage, USDA-ARS, Tucson, AZ were
also transferred to Aberdeen. Over 400
genetic male-sterile barley stocks were recently acquired from Dr. E.A.
Hockett, USDA-ARS, Bozeman, MT.
Ninety-four doubled haploid Oregon Wolfe Barley (OWB) multiple marker
stocks were received in 1999 from Dr. Patrick Hayes, Oregon State University. For further information and seed requests
contact Dr. An Hang, USDA-ARS, 1691 S. 2700 W. Aberdeen, ID 83210, anhang@uidaho.edu.
NATIONAL SMALL GRAINS COLLECTION BARLEY GERMPLASM
EVALUATIONS

Agricultural Research Service - USDA
National Small Grains Germplasm
Research Facility, Aberdeen, Idaho
Cooperation University of Idaho
The
systematic evaluation of barley accessions in the USDA-ARS National Small
Grains Collection (NSGC) and other elite germplasm is coordinated by National
Small Grains Germplasm Research Facility (NSGGRF) staff at Aberdeen. Cooperative barley evaluations continued for
reaction to barley stripe rust; spot and net blotch of barley; Fusarium head
blight; and barley stripe mosaic virus, as well as evaluations of beta-glucan,
protein, and oil content of NSGC barley accessions. Specific Cooperative Agreements or within ARS Fund Transfers
involving cooperative evaluations and related research for all small grains
involve over 20 University and ARS projects in at least 15 states.
Data
obtained from evaluations of NSGC germplasm are entered in the Germplasm
Resources Information Network (GRIN) system by the NSGGRF staff in cooperation
with the ARS National Germplasm Resources Laboratory, Beltsville,
Maryland. Data available on GRIN for
barley are summarized below.

The barley germplasm evaluation program concerned with barley
stripe rust continued in 2000. Barley
stripe rust evaluations were initiated in Cochabamba, Bolivia in 1990 under the
direction of Colorado State University plant pathologists W.M. Brown, Jr.,
Vidal Velasco, and J.P. Hill. Nearly all cultivated barley accessions in the
NSGC were evaluated for reaction to barley stripe rust in Cochabamba, with
resistant or moderately resistant reactions recorded for nearly 500
accessions. Fifty percent of the barley
stripe rust resistant NSGC accessions originated in Ethiopia, with the balance
coming from 45 other countries. Testing
for reaction to barley stripe rust continued at Cochabamba through 1996, with
the focus on these barley stripe rust evaluation trials moving to Toluca,
Mexico; Mt. Vernon, Washington; and other locations in subsequent years. In addition to the evaluation of NSGC
germplasm, barley stripe rust evaluation trials at Cochabamba, Bolivia and
other locations have also included a number of barley varieties and elite lines
from several cooperators. Cooperators
that have submitted entries for evaluation in recent years include Busch
Agricultural Resources, Inc.; Coors Brewing Company; Montana State
University; Oregon State University; Plant Breeders 1; University of California
- Davis; University of Minnesota; USDA-ARS Aberdeen, Idaho; Utah State
University; Washington State University; and Western Plant
Breeders.

important contributions of the NSGGRF staff in this germplasm evaluation
effort, with special thanks to Glenda B. Rutger, Santos Nieto, Carol S. Truman,

2001 after nearly 37 years of service with ARS. Mr. Nieto is now employed with the Gila River Indian Community,
