Nordic Genetic Resource Center
NordGen strive to handle orders as fast as possible; however, during holidays and peak seasons it may take 10 working days or more to handle an order.
For your information, the normal amount for distribution is 250 seeds per accession. The seed amount for breeding and research material of cereals is 10 seeds.
For large seeded species like peas and beans the amount is 25 seeds per accession and for some specific vegetables, the seed amount is also reduced to 10-25 seeds.
Who can order seeds:
Scientists, plant breeders, educators, producers and other bona fide research and education entities.
Important: Students and PhD-students and similar functions must ask their supervisor/head of department to requests the seeds for the specific study/purpose.
This is because the signing of the SMTA may have financial or other vital implication for the organisation to whom the student/employee belongs.

Genbank of vegetatively propagated crops at AU-FOOD Since vegetatively propagated material comes from plants growing in the field, there are times of the year where propagation
and re-planting is more likely to be successful than other. Therefore, requests for propagated material to AU-FOOD is handled as fast as possible, and we are happy to discuss and
advise on the best time for extracting plant material from the collection and re-planting it. The amount and form of the plant material that is distributed depends on the crop.
We distribute enough plant material for successful re-planting and growth of one or a few new plants. The material is packed to ensure a safe transport to the receiver.
