IGR aims at the improvement of conservation and utilization of genetic resources; hence, it has been charged with information exchange and consultation of all interested cooperants in this field. To achieve these objectives IGR´s key activities are as follows (Table 6):
F. Begemann Table 6: Objectives and key activities of the Information Centre for Genetic Resources IGR´s present objectives are - to assist individuals and institutions, particularly in Germany, to assess and meet their needs for genetic resources conservation, - to contribute to improved links between conservation and utilization activities, - to support collaboration between the formal and informal sector in the field of genetic resources, - to strengthen and contribute to the German cooperation at national and international level, - to support the development and promotion of improved strategies and techniques for genetic resources conservation and use and - to provide a focal point for national and international information exchange on genetic resources issues. IGR´s key activities to achieve these objectives are (1) to establish the German database on genetic resources. Emphasis will be placed on the genetic resources of agricultural and horticultural crop plants and their wild relatives; however, if need be, it will be open to integrate information on other plants (ornamentals, forestry and wild species) as well as on animals and micro-organisms, (2) to develop and maintain a database of German experts in the field of genetic resources conservation, documentation and utilization, (3) to support institutions in analyzing their information on the germplasm, (4) to assist in the preparation and implementation of collaborative projects concerned with the conservation and use of genetic resources and (5) to provide a comprehensive information service to the scientific community and the interested public. 5. Strategic Plans The conservation activities outlined here constitute a significant component of the strategic plans being published by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry (BML). The concept became known to the public under the names of the authors ´Bommer/Beese-concept´ [BOMMER AND BEESE, 1990]; it was published in 1990 by BML in its series ´Angewandte Wissenschaft´ volume 388. Some updated information [BEGEMANN AND HAMMER, 1993] has recently been provided in the same series, volume 422; this became necessary after German re-unification in order to inform about the former GDR activities and the impact of recent international developments such as UNCED and the convention on biodiversity on German activities toward the conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources (Figure 2). Nevertheless, a review of the most important plant genetic resources activities in Germany is underway to find some recommendations how to further optimize conservation, management and utilization of plant genetic resources. The review is due to be finalized by the end of June 1994.
