11. Evelin Willner: Baltic Sea Region WS, Poa sp.-EDB-MOS, 30..11.2010 Selection of candidates for European Forage Collections (EFC = forages MAAs) 1997:Beitostolen, Norway, objectives and scope of the European Forage Collection were defined (see also 6th Meeting - Report of WG on Forages, p. 12-16) 1999:Elvas, Portugal, a procedure to identify MOS (most original samples) was proposed (see also 7th Meeting - Report of WG on Forages, App I, p. 214-217) 2003:Linz, Austria, CCDB managers should make a proposal for Holder of primary collection (PRIMCOLL), focusing on 7 priority crops, Discussion about regeneration standards (see also 8th Meeting - Report of WG on Forages, App I, p. 184-187)

12. Evelin Willner: Baltic Sea Region WS, Poa sp.-EDB-MOS, 30..11.2010 2005:Lindau, Switzerland, progress was made in MOS definition of the priority crops, forage specific descriptors were revised (slide # 19) 2007:Piestany, Slovakia, progress mainly for Poa and Phleum, only partially for other crops Selection of candidates for European Forage Collections (EFC = forages MAAs)

13. Evelin Willner: Baltic Sea Region WS, Poa sp.-EDB-MOS, 30..11.2010 Definition of selection criteria 1.MOS determination: an accession is a most original sample, when his origin is known and GB is COL or BRE 2.PRIMCOLL determ.: a primary holder should be the GB in the country where the accession was collected or bred 3.Primary holder: the GB works according regeneration standards for forages (acceptable or preferred standard) 4. MOS accession: seed is free available 5.MOS accession: has a safety duplicate

14. Evelin Willner: Baltic Sea Region WS, Poa sp.-EDB-MOS, 30..11.2010 First step: Original Status (OS) 1. Most original sample (MOS) Gene bank is collector or breeder of the material. 2. With MOS The material of a donor has been repatriated by the gene bank; the gene bank is collector or breeder. 3. One away Gene bank obtained the material from a donor which is collector or breeder of the material. 4. More away Gene bank obtained the material from a donor which is not collector or breeder of the material, but another institute or breeding company. 5. Unknown Donor of the sample is unknown.
