Deposit of propagating material in a Genetic Resources Centre
Section 44 (1) (b) (vii) of the PBR Act requires that applicants deposit propagating
material of the variety in a genetic resource centre. The new Act requires this
before the grant of PBR whereas the old Act allowed this to
be deferred until after the granting. Normally seed propagated
species are deposited in one of the Australian Plant Genetic Resources Centres.
Vegetatively propagated material can be maintained as stock plants in a nursery
(often in the applicants nursery). A nursery can be a genetic resources centre
for the purposes of the Act. Special conditions may apply to deposits of propagating
material when a licence is granted under section 19(11).
