 OB:  The Small Fruit Germplasm Committee has determined that there is a need
 for additional Fragaria virginiana germplasm from the southeaster US. This
 germplasm is desired for breeding programs for crop improvement, is extremely
 poorly represented in other germplasm collections, and can only be obtained by
 collection. The germplasm will be incorporated into the National Plant
 Germplasm System. 
 AP:  The germplasm will be collected from Southeastern Virginia, eastern North
 Carolina, southern Arkansas and southern Tennessee, the panhandle of Florida,
 and all of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
 Three-fourths of each seed accession will be deposited with the NCGR,
 Corvallis. The remaining one-fourth will be retained at NC State University
 for germination and evaluation for disease, pest, adaptation and horticultural
 traits. Elite genotypes from these screenings will be deposited with NCGR,
 Corvallis, and the remainder discarded. 
 PR:  9503 TO 9512 
      Collections of Fragaria virginiana were made in Georgia, South Carolina,
 Louisiana, and Mississippi. A total of 105 seed and clonal accessions were
 collected. In addition to Fragaria virginiana, collections were made of
 several species of Rubus, Vaccinium, and Gaylussacia. Collections have been
 deposited with the National Germplasm Repository in Corvallis, Oregon where
 they will be available to breeders and researchers attempting to develop
 improved strawberry cultivars. The collection of Fragaria virginiana in the
 southeastern states will continue next year.
