Changes reporting resistances in DUS variety descriptions
Changes in the reporting of resistances in DUS variety descriptions
Resistance characteristics that are not included in the CPVO protocols (neither in the UPOV guidelines nor in the national guidelines) and that have not been submitted as additional characteristics will no longer be mentioned in official variety descriptions, not even under point 16 (Additional Information).
This concerns resistances indicated by the applicant as additional information (for example, in the TQ). This change was announced and adopted by the CPVO during the CPVO Meeting of Examination Offices (MEO) in December 2024. The relevant document in the CPVO Vademecum will be adjusted. As of January 1, 2025, resistance claims for such diseases will no longer be added to official variety descriptions.
We still gladly receive this relevant information in the TQs for the completeness of our database (and for any future changes in protocols or the procedure for additional characteristics).
