National Active Germplasm Site: IIPR is also maintaining more than 9 thousand accessions of mandated crops in medium term cold module (4°C with relative humidity 40 %). These accessions can be maintained for 6-8 years under controlled condition without losing the viability of the materials. As a routine activity regular monitoring of viability and rejuvenation of these accessions are being carried out time to time. This active collection with valuable germplasm is available for sharing with research workers in the country as and when indented under a proper MTA for its use in research purpose only.
