Variety Protection

Breeders persistently supply farmers with the best varieties in order to exceed consumer demand through plant-breeding processes that are resource-intensive. In order to motivate continuous innovation in variety development, a system needs to provide incentives for plant breeders to develop superior varieties, for example, exclusive ownership to produce and market those varieties. The most common system is the acquisition of intellectual property protection through plant variety protection, also known as the breeder’s right. Most countries have adopted the system established by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). To be granted plant variety protection, the variety should prove to be unique by meeting three requirements: distinctness, uniformity, and stability. This review summarizes (1) the plant variety protection via UPOV convention, (2) technical methods for distinctness, uniformity, and stability testing via phenotype, molecular markers, and sequencing as well as their challenges and potentiality, and (3) additional discussions in essentially derived variety, value for cultivation and use testing, and open source seed initiative.

This book explains how the Community plant variety rights system works and provides guidance regarding the field of law relating to the Basic Regulation and other implementing regulations. It gives an idea of how the grant system works, the advantages of Community plant variety rights, and the aspects to be considered in exploiting and defending. It also explains the mechanisms in the Basic Regulation on how infringements of Community plant variety rights should be dealt with, including certain enforcement systems of the EU Member States. This book analyses major aspects that are considered of practical relevance in infringement proceedings under the applicable national law. It elaborates how the case law is limited in comparison with patent infringement proceedings throughout the EU Member States.

<p>Genetic Diversity of 96 Accession of Rice Germplasm<br />Using 30 SSR Markers Linked to Heading Date Genes (HD<br />Genes). Dwinita W. Utami, Sutoro, Nurul Hidayatun,<br />Andari Risliawati, and Ida Hanarida. Rice with early<br />maturity is one of an important genetic resources in rice<br />germplasm collection. Characterization and identification of<br />genetic diversity is an important issue for plant variety protection.<br />Molecular identification by microsatellite markers<br />using Genetic Analyzer enables resolve of this issue. The<br />objective of this research is to identify the genetic diversity of<br />96 rice accessions based on their specific DNA fingerprint<br />using microsatellite markers. A total of 96 accessions consisting<br />of a diverse variety of maturity classification were<br />genotyped with 30 SSR markers linked to HD genes which<br />spread out in 12 chromosomes of rice geneome. The total<br />297 alleles were detected indicated the level of marker<br />informativeness. RM5607 generated 7 allele with the size<br />range from 103 to 197 and the highest PIC at 0.90. RM3571<br />(linked to HD12 gene) has a significant value associated with<br />varieties which have early maturity trait. Clustering analysis<br />showed the cluster based on Sub Species genome background<br />and on early maturity trait.</p>
