No data available, but due to 85% germination of seed for
regeneration a good quality standard may be assumed.

China has not yet started to regenerate the conserved
accessions, due to the date of establishing the gene bank (8
years ago), a good quality standard may be assumed.

No data available from Peru, but due to 50 to 60%

Portugal has not yet started to regenerate the conserved

Regeneration previously carried out by regional stations.
With the disintegration of the USSR, the number of
stations is reduced, increasing the regeneration problems,
but for the moment, a basic quality may be assumed.
