Disseminates advanced lines, parental
lines and segregating populations of
barley, durum wheat, bread wheat,
lentil, kabuli chickpea, faba bean,
vetches and chicklings developed by
ICARDA, CIMMYT, ICRISAT and
national programs. Feedback from
NARS assists in developing adapted
germplasm and provides a better
understanding of GxE interaction and
of the agroecological characteristics of
major production areas.
Working groups specify priorities in
plant genetic resources; identify and
implement collaborative projects;
implement regional activities.
Encourages stronger regional seed sector
cooperation, exchange of information,
regional consultations, and intercountry
seed trade.
Improve national and regional capacities
in information management,
preservation and dissemination.
Enhanced technical co-operation
among concerned national, regional
and international organizations in the
Region, particularly the exchange of
information and experience among the
member countries, on issues concerning
