OB:  It has been determined that there is a need for additional germplasm of
Glycine,Mentha, Ribes, and Vigna spp. from the Amur, Primorye and Sakhalin
Island areas of Siberia in Russia and for Wasabia spp. which does not exist in
the USDA collection, from Sakhalin and Japan. 
AP:  Germplasm will be collected as seed and soil free whole plants. When
appropriate, the accessions will be documented with voucher herbarium
specimens. All collections will be documented with complete "passport" data.
All germplasm will be hand carried in to the U.S. and then shipped to the
appropriate Germplasm Quarantine facility from which it will be distributed
according to policies in effect at time of receipt.

     A plant exploration to Far Eastern Russia and Sakhalin Island took place
from July 12 - August 2, 1992. Dr. Thomas Lumpkin of Washington State
University was the principal explorer. Sixteen genera of plants were
collected, represented by Actinidia, Astragalus, Bergenia, Fragaria, Glycine,
Lens, Lonicera, Mentha, Peonia, Prunus, Ribes, Rubus, Schizandra, Vaccinium,
Virburnum and wild Wasabia tenuis. Much germplasm was exchanged including all
of the Glycine soja accessions held by VIR in Vladivostok which are not
currently held by the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System. It was determined
that assimilation of ethnic minorities into Russian culture has led to the
subsequent loss of their traditional crops. Planning is underway for the
second part of this project which will include exploration in Japan for
germplasm of Wasabia spp. All collected germplasm will be available to plant
breeders to use in developing improved cultivars.
