21. GRIN is under the oversight of National Germplasm Resources Laboratory ( NGRL ) in Beltsville, Maryland, 22. Breeding rams of high breeding value are produced from farm based unit every year for germplasm distribution. 23. Important establishments include ICAR Saptasajya Mango germplasm bank, High School, Teakwood garden and Bee Farm. 24. Sprague's techniques took advantage of his belief that good germplasm was crucial to successful breeding. 25. The region has been identified by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research as a centre of rice germplasm . 26. The introduction of foreign germplasm into crops has been achieved by traditional crop breeders by overcoming species barriers. 27. In 1956-1957 Darrow surveyed the native strawberries of Chile and collected germplasm in Andean South America. 28. Furthermore, the area houses an important germplasm , which requires protection from overexploitation and destruction by humans. 29. The company's website states that its germplasm library holds over 12, 000 unique Jatropha genotypes. 30. New germplasm ( accessions ) enter NPGS through collection, donation by foreign cooperators or international germplasm collections.
