Cultivar Name Clearance.  Breeders in the United States are encouraged to have proposed names for new cultivars checked for duplication and conflicts.  The National Small Grains Collection will be glad to assist you.  Send the proposed name to: Harold E. Bockelman, USDA-ARS-NSGC, 1691 S. 2700 W., Aberdeen, ID 83210, Fax 208-397-4165, mailto:nsgchb@ars-grin.gov.  If desired, more than one name may be submitted, and 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 there is no single, complete name database.  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 have 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: 1691 S. 2700 W., 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.  Scientists importing seed should be aware of any restrictions that apply.  USDA-APHIS personnel can provide current information on applicable restrictions.  Oat scientists should be aware that Avena sterilis is classified as a Noxious Weed in the U.S. and, thus, requires a permit from USDA-APHIS for receiving seed and grow-outs.
