When ratified or acceded to by 40 countries (17 have done so to date [June 2003]), the new treaty will enter into force and govern the international exchange of designated crop genetic resources. It will also attempt to resolve longstanding issues over how the benefits derived from the use of genetic resources are shared." (AMBER WAVES) This article discusses how "the treaty will affect the U.S., which has one of the largest national germplasm collections in the world and the largest national investment in plant breeding" and stresses that the success of the treaty "will depend to a great extent on whether its provisions actually facilitate international exchange."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
