The Canadian Seed Trade Association says the Plant Breeders’ Rights Office (PBRO) has granted rights under the new legislation (PBR91) to 12 new crop varieties.
The April 30 PBRO Plant Varieties Journal on the CFIA website lists three new PBR91 wheat varieties, two oats varieties, one flax variety and six potato varieties. CSTA says there are different obligations associated with the new PBR91 varieties, which can be found at pbrfacts.ca.
“We are entering a new era of opportunity with PBR91,” CSTA president Dave Baute said in a release. “But with the opportunity comes obligations.”
