Objections 

Formal objections to applications can be lodged by a 

person who: 

a) considers their commercial interests would be affected 

by a grant of PBR to the applicant; and 

b) considers that the applicant will not be able to fulfil all 

the conditions for the grant of PBR to the variety. 

A person submitting a formal objection must provide 

supporting evidence to substantiate the claim. A copy of 

the submission will also be sent to the applicant and the 

latter will be asked to show why the objection should not 

be upheld. 

A fee of $100 is payable at the time of lodging a formal 

objection and $75/hour will be charged if the examination 

of the objection by the PBR office takes more than 2 hours. 

Comments. Any person may make comment on the 

eligibility of any application for PBR. The comment is 

considered confidential. There is no charge for this. If the 

comment is soundly based the person may be requested to 

lodge a formal objection. Comments may also be made 

regarding the name of a variety if it is believed to be 

scandalous or offensive. 

All formal objections and comments must be lodged with 

the Registrar not later than six months after the date the 

description of the variety is published in this journal. 

Applying For Plant Breeders 

Rights 

Applications are accepted from the original breeder of a 

new variety (from their employer if the breeder is an 

employee) or from a person who has acquired ownership 

from the original breeder. Overseas breeders need to 

appoint an agent to represent their interests in Australia. 

Interested parties should contact the PBR office and an 

accredited Qualified Person (Appendix 3) experienced in 

the plant species in question. 

Requirement to Supply 

Comparative Varieties 

Once an application has been accepted by the PBR office, 

it is covered by provisional protection. Also it immediately 

becomes a ‘variety of common knowledge’ and thus may 

be required by others as a comparator for their applications 

with a higher application number. 

Applicants are reminded that they are required to release 

propagative material for comparative testing provided that 

the material is used for no other purpose and all material 

relating to the variety is returned when the trial is complete. 

The expenses incurred in the provision of material for 

comparative trials is borne by those conducting the trials. 

As the variety is already under provisional protection, any 

use outside the conditions outlined above would qualify as 

an infringement and would be dealt with under section 53 

of the Plant Breeder’s Rights Act. 

Applicants having difficulties procuring varieties for use in 

comparative trials are urged to contact the PBR office 

immediately. 

History of Development of Gene 

Technology Regulation in Australia 

Andrew Keal, DPIE 

Parliamentary Inquiry 

In June 1990 the House of Representatives Standing 

Committee on Industry, Science and Technology conducted 

an inquiry into the development, use and release into the 

environment of genetically manipulated organisms 

following a proposal from the Minister for Industry 

Technology and Commerce. The Committee’s report titled 

“Genetic Manipulation: The Threat or the Glory?” was 

tabled in March 1992. 

In October 1992, the Minister for Science and Technology 

announced the Government’s response and decisions in 

relation to the Parliamentary Report. The Government 

accepted the broad directions of the Report. 

In particular, the Government agreed that the principal 

concern was that the existing voluntary guidelines and 

procedures had no legal force. It acknowledged that the 

voluntary guidelines (operated by the Genetic Manipulation 

Advisory Committee (GMAC) and predecessors) had been 

very effective for over 10 years, but pointed out that this was 

a period during which the majority of projects were in the 

research phase, and that many projects were now 

developing products for application in industry and 

agriculture. It was important to establish an appropriate 

regulatory regime at this relatively early stage in the 

introduction of the technology, as was being done in many 

other countries. 

Commonwealth Government Response 

The Government’s approach in general terms was to give 

legal force to guidelines and procedures for contained 

research work, and to establish an effective legal framework 

for the assessment of all proposals for the release of GMOs 

into the environment. For these purposes, there was to be a 

Genetic Manipulation Research Committee (GMRC) and a 

Genetic Manipulation Authority (GMA). The Minister also 

announced that, pending the passage of the new legislation, 

the Government would expect all organisations doing 

genetic manipulation to continue to comply with the current 

GMAC guidelines, and that the existing Genetic 

Manipulation Advisory Committee would continue to 

administer the guidelines until new arrangements were 

implemented. 

2


Commonwealth-State negotiations – “Round 1” 

Following the Government’s response, a Commonwealth- 

State Consultative Group on Genetic Manipulation was 

established in November 1992 to: 

a) agree on how a nation-wide approach could best be 

achieved (including the legislative framework); 

b) to provide the mechanism for inter-governmental 

consultation on all aspects of the content of agreed 

legislation in the area; 

c) establish ongoing consultative/review mechanisms to 

operate after any Commonwealth legislation comes 

into effect; and if found to be necessary; 

d) to negotiate a formal Commonwealth/State/Territory 

Agreement. 

In the event, the Consultative Group developed draft 

complementary adoptive legislation (ie its provisions would 

be identical in all jurisdictions) for a single Gene 

Technology Authority (GTA). The draft Bill (and associated 

Inter-Governmental Agreement) were developed by mid 

1995. 

It provided for the GTA to develop procedures to assess the 

risk associated with the release of genetically modified 

organisms to licence premises and the construction, 

propagation, production, transport, use, application or 

release of GMOs. Penalties would be imposed for 

unauthorised release, contained use, transport, unlicensed 

premises and breaching the conditions of approval. 

The GTA would provide guidelines on these activities 

(essentially carrying over those of GMAC initially) and 

establish publicly available information sources on 

applications and approvals. There would be a part-time 

board to manage the Authority, several assessment 

committees and a staff of 12. The GTA legislation would 

have a sunset clause after it had been in operation for 7 

years. The GTA would be a Commonwealth statutory body, 

but would comply with written directions from a Ministerial 

Council. 

The Agriculture and Resource Management Council of 

Australia and New Zealand (ARMCANZ) agreed to act as 

the Ministerial Council, with the Minister for Primary 

Industries and Energy as the responsible Commonwealth 

Minister. The Prime Minister was advised of this 

agreement. At the time, the Department of Industry, Science 

and Technology (DIST) had responsibility for 

implementing the Government’s response to the House of 

Representatives report, while the Minister for 

Administrative Services was responsible for GMAC. 

However, an impasse developed in 1995 over the 

consequences of the “complementary adoptive” form of 

legislation proposed for the Commonwealth and State Gene 

Technology Authority Acts. Western Australia in particular 

found it difficult to agree to legislation that could be 

changed without the opportunity for its Parliament to fully 

consider those changes. The Commonwealth-State Working 

Group did not met again. In the interim, DIST explored a 

Commonwealth-only legislative approach. 

Change of Government 

Following the change of Government in 1996, a new 

proposal was developed and put to the Government for 

approval. In November 1996, the Minister for Science and 

Technology re-initiated consideration of a regulatory 

framework for gene technology at the Commonwealth 

level, by establishing an inter-departmental committee. This 

IDC began working towards a position that the 

Commonwealth Government could use in discussions with 

the States and Territories on the form of regulation to be 

adopted in Australia. 

With the change of Government, responsibility for GMAC 

was moved from the Minister for Administrative Services to 

the Minister for Industry, Science, and Tourism. 

On 30 October 1997 the Commonwealth Government 

announced that it had decided to introduce a package of 

measures designed to provide uniform and comprehensive 

regulation of gene technology. The proposal is to develop a 

national regulation framework that would provide 

protection for humans and the environment, assure 

scientifically based risk assessment, and specify a clear 

regulatory path for industry, investors and researchers. 

Effective regulation at an appropriate level will lead to 

broad community confidence in gene technology 

development and applications. 

The Commonwealth’s proposed regulation package 

involves: 

use of existing legislation where possible, with appropriate 

amendments to provide for notification, assessment, and 

approval of relevant GMOs and GMO products. The 

intended purpose of existing legislation would be 

maintained; 

introduction of new legislation to cover GMOs and GMO 

products not covered by existing bodies and to provide 

some statutory control of gene technology research; 

establishment of a Gene Technology Office to oversee gene 

technology, to coordinate GMO and GMO product 

regulation across Australia, and to make decisions on 

releases of GMOs and GMO products, and on gene 

technology research under the new legislation; 

retention of an expert scientific and technical advisory 

body, subsuming the functions of the current Genetic 

Manipulation Advisory Committee; and 

as an interim measure, establishment of a Gene Technology 

Liaison Committee to provide advice and solutions on 

urgent gene technology issues which are not able to be 

addressed under current regulatory systems. 

Commonwealth-State negotiations – “Round 2” 

Following the Commonwealth Government’s 30 October 

announcement, a new Commonwealth-State Consultative 

3


Group was established and consultations began again. 

Under DIST’s chairmanship 3 Working Groups have been 

formed to develop an Australia-wide regulatory framework. 

Working Group 1 – Principles, and Needs and Gap 

Identification 

This working group will consider and make 

recommendations on: 

the identification of GMOs and GMO products which fall 

outside existing coverage and which require coverage by 

another means; 

the need for statutory regulation of identified GMOs and 

GMO products at different stages of introduction, 

development and application, namely research, 

development, manufacture, use, import and export; and 

the need for notification, evaluation and risk assessment, 

approval (eg registration, inventories, permits, conditions), 

control (eg enforcement and incentives), monitoring and 

compliance, and mandatory or advisory maximum periods 

for assessment and decision-making, in respect of identified 

GMOs and GMO products. 

Working Group 2 – Structures, Administration, Operations 

and Finances 

(a) Structure of regulatory bodies 

The working group, having regard to the structure of 

existing Commonwealth, State and Territory bodies with a 

current or proposed role in gene technology regulation, will 

consider and make recommendations on: 

suitable structural options (including the proposed Gene 

Technology Office – GTO) to enable the provision for 

regulatory coverage and functions not currently possible 

under existing legislation, including approval for 

genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and GMO 

products not covered by other regulators, and regulation of 

research; 

structural options for advisory, assessment, and decisionmaking 

functions, for coordination among Commonwealth 

portfolios and between the Commonwealth, States, and 

Territories, for operational issues, for policy, and for public 

consultation. This will include consideration of: 

– the detailed structure of the proposed GTO and its 

coordination committees, including the committees’ 

terms of reference and representation; 

– the terms of reference of, and representation on, the 

Gene Technology Advisory Committee (GTAC); 

– the respective roles of Commonwealth, State and 

Territory Ministers; and 

– the role of relevant Minister(s) in decision-making, 

including delegations. 

(b) Administration, operations and finances 

The working group will consider and make 

recommendations on administrative, operational and 

financial provisions, including but not limited to: 

mechanisms for ensuring cost recovery; 

disclosure of information; 

intellectual property rights; 

financial, staffing and other resource requirements for 

regulation; 

planning and reporting requirements; 

constitutions of meetings; 

public consultation; and 

transitional provisions. 

Working Group 3 – Legislation and Drafting Instructions 

(a) Legislative Options 

The working group will consider and make 

recommendations on a preferred legislative option to 

implement new legislation for gene technology regulation. 

In developing these recommendations the working group 

will: 

consider the range of options available, including but not 

limited to complementary adoptive and complementary 

substantive legislation 

examine the legislative options in terms of their suitability 

to enable agreed principles to be applied, to meet the agreed 

needs for gene technology regulation, and to best allow the 

Commonwealth, States and Territories to discharge their 

agreed respective roles and responsibilities; and 

have regard to the current preferred options of Australian 

jurisdictions, to COAG guidelines on regulation in the 

context of regulatory needs, and to recent Regulatory 

Impact Statements on gene technology regulation. 

(b) Detailed Implementation 

The Working Group will consider and make 

recommendations on the detailed implementation of the 

functional, structural and legal framework 

recommendations of Working Groups, including: 

development of a specific outline for drafting instructions 

that reflects the agreed intentions for regulation in respect of 

amendments to existing legislation and new legislation, and 

that will cover, but not be limited to 

– proposals for the agreed new coverage of GMOs and 

GMO products, of regulatory functions (notification, 

assessment, approval, etc), and of stages of 

introduction; 

4


– development and application to be covered (eg 

regulation of contained research in gene technology, 

planned release of GMOs, and import and export 

controls); 

– proposals for penalties for non-compliance with the 

regulatory arrangements; 

– proposals for appeal provisions and procedures; and 

– proposals for indemnity. 

making of recommendations on the structuring of 

regulatory provisions into primary legislation, subordinate 

legislation (regulations) and guidelines; 

development of proposals for changes to existing legislation, 

including direct amendments and changes to regulations, 

providing for coverage of domestically developed GMOs 

and GMO products and for imports and exports; 

development of procedures, structures and a timetable for 

approval of initial legislation and future amendments to 

legislation, regulations and guidelines, including 

consideration of the need for an inter-governmental 

agreement; and 

any other legal issues which relate to the development and 

implementation of regulatory arrangements for gene 

technology. 

SCARM / ARMCANZ 

SCARM (The Standing Committee on Agriculture and 

Resource Management, which reports to ARMCANZ) had 

earlier in 1996 proposed a working party to examine gene 

technology regulation, given the significance of the 

technology to agricultural production and the lack of 

activity on the matter. This report is the result of that 

working party’s deliberations. 

At its September 1996 meeting SCARM established a 

Working Group to examine the regulatory system for 

GMOs. The Working Group held its first meeting in 

February 1997, and presented its report, “Regulation of 

Gene Technology”, to SCARM in early July 1997. At its 6 

August meeting SCARM accepted the recommendations of 

the Working Group and referred its recommendations 

straight to the ARMCANZ meeting of Friday 8 August. 

The SCARM proposal was for the establishment, through 

Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, of a small 

office, the Gene Technology Agency (GTA), in a 

Commonwealth Department. The SCARM model proposed 

to incorporate the current functions of the non-statutory 

GMAC as one of its advisory committees. The GTA was 

envisaged as being the clearing house for applications for 

research, field trials, release into the environment, 

commercial use and post-release surveillance. The GTA 

would direct the applicant to the body with the appropriate 

legislative authority for risk determination and assessment 

(eg AQIS, NRA, and State bodies that follow ANZFA 

standards) and provide them with advice, where necessary, 

on how to assess the GMO. 

Regulatory agencies may wish in turn to contract out the 

assessment to appropriate bodies (eg Bureau of Resource 

Sciences, State agriculture departments, Environment 

Australia, Department of Health and Family Services, 

universities, or the private sector) but would retain 

responsibility for making the decision. 

If no agency has the legislated scope to cover the GMO, the 

GTA would conduct the risk determination itself, again with 

outsourcing possible where this does not compromise the 

validity of the assessment. Where more than one agency has 

responsibility for an issue, the GTA would co-ordinate the 

decision process so that the applicant would be given a 

consistent set of rules to follow. The States and Territories 

would be involved to the extent that agencies like the NRA 

currently involve them in their procedures; and possibly in 

terms of giving approval for the conduct of field trials. The 

coverage of GMOs by existing regulatory agencies may 

need to be extended or modified. 

ARMCANZ agreed that a framework for regulating the 

products of gene technology is required to provide 

assurance to the community regarding the use of this 

technology, albeit the framework should be only that 

necessary to achieve effective assurance. 

It also agreed in-principle to support the proposed minimal 

regulatory framework involving the establishment of a 

small GTA, as described above. 

It noted that while this regulatory framework has been 

developed to meet the needs of agriculture, it has broader 

application for regulating GMOs for non-agricultural use. 

It agreed to encourage the adoption of this approach as the 

policy position for each jurisdiction in coming discussion of 

the policy and legislative structures for gene technology 

regulation. 

Finally, it agreed to establish a Committee of 

Commonwealth and State/Territory agriculture officers 

(senior executive level) to progress this initiative, and for its 

members to negotiate adoption of this framework with 

Commonwealth and State/Territory officials from nonagricultural 

portfolio areas. 

The Gene Technology Regulation Co-ordination 

Committee (GTRCC) was established following the 

decision of the August 1997 ARMCANZ meeting to 

establish a committee of officials to work towards the 

development and adoption of uniform regulation for GMOs 

throughout Australia. The GTRCC has members 

representing the Commonwealth, each State, the Northern 

Territory and CSIRO. 

The role of the GTRCC is to work towards a whole-ofgovernment 

agreement on the design and implementation of 

an effective GMO regulatory system, based on the 

framework established by the 1997 SCARM report. The 

GTRCC aims to ensure the views of the agriculture related 

portfolios are fully integrated into the decisions of the 

Commonwealth-State/Territory consultations. The GTRCC 

will share information on the current state of play in all 

relevant forums across Australia. 

5


The Commonwealth’s preferred whole-of-government 

model is quite similar to that proposed by the SCARM 

working group report discussed at the August 1997 

meeting. 

AQIS 

Since late 1997 the Australian Quarantine and Inspection 

Service (AQIS) has been developing proposed procedures 

to import genetically manipulated plant material. 

Under the Quarantine Act 1908, products imported into 

Australia are subject to controls to manage the risk of 

introduction, establishment and spread of pests and diseases 

that may endanger our plant, animal and human health 

environment. AQIS is refining its import system for plants 

to ensure plant material that is genetically manipulated can 

be identified and assessed prior to importation. The pest and 

disease risks associated with genetically manipulated plant 

material, such as weediness, will be assessed by AQIS. This 

procedure is consistent with the assessment procedures 

applied to other products. 

Applicants proposing importation of plant material will be 

required to declare the presence of genetically manipulated 

material. Import application forms now have a provision for 

notifying AQIS if plant material has been genetically 

manipulated. 

At least in the first instance, an import application form 

must be completed for all genetically manipulated material. 

Once AQIS is notified of a pending importation for 

genetically manipulated material, the product will be 

assessed for its pest and disease risks. If the product is 

assessed as not posing a risk in terms of pests and diseases, 

it will be regulated in the same manner as the nongenetically 

manipulated plant species from which it is 

derived. For unrestricted plant species, particularly of seed, 

the assessed species will be placed on a permitted list so that 

an applicant will not be required to complete an import 

application form for subsequent importations. If risks are 

identified, conditions to manage those risks will be 

imposed. 

The term “genetically manipulated” includes products of 

modern biotechnology and artificial selection. All plant 

products developed by modern biotechnology techniques 

must obtain an import permit prior to importation. The 

ability to manipulate plants to a greater degree using 

biotechnology techniques requires scrutiny of all products 

by AQIS. 

Artificial selection includes conventionally bred plants and 

unintentionally selected plants that carry specific 

characteristics. Examples of unintentionally selected plants 

are those that develop herbicide resistance in response to the 

overuse of herbicides. These are included to ensure end 

traits that can be obtained by biotechnology procedures, 

conventional breeding methods and unintentional selection 

are all identified and assessed by AQIS. However, to 

minimise disruptions to trade and to avoid unnecessarily 

capturing large numbers of artificially selected plant 

products, not all artificially selected products will require an 

import permit. A list of specific traits of possible pest and 

disease concern has been developed. Only those artificially 

selected (ie. conventionally bred) products that have one or 

more traits on the list must complete an import application 

and undergo assessment by AQIS. The traits are: 

• Herbicide tolerance/resistance 

• Enhanced environmental tolerance/resistance 

(including soil and climatic stress tolerance) 

• Plant pathogen tolerance/resistance (including fungal, 

viral, insect, bacterial and nematode resistance) 

• Expression of toxic substances (including pesticides 

and poisons) 

• Enhanced growth characteristics (including growth 

rate, seasonality and fruiting/seeding density) 

AQIS is making these changes to the import system to 

improve Australia’s protection against pests and diseases. It 

is hoped that no significant disruption to the normal trade in 

plant commodities will occur, however, there may be minor 

delays until the strategy has been fully implemented. 

ANZFA 

In February 1998 the Australia New Zealand Food 

Authority (ANZFA) announced that it had made a 

recommendation for a Standard on the regulation of foods 

produced by gene technology to the Health Ministers of the 

States and Territories and New Zealand. ANZFA 

recommended to the Ministerial Council that new 

genetically modified foods undergo a case-by-case, 

rigorous risk based safety assessment. It also recommended 

that labelling be required for foods produced using gene 

technology which are not substantially equivalent to their 

existing conventional counterparts. 

The Authority will not be seeking mandatory labelling on 

foods produced using gene technology which are 

substantially equivalent to their existing conventional 

counterparts. However, it is committed to working with 

industry and consumers to look at a whole range of other 

ways it can ensure that people can easily get the information 

they need to make informed choices. 

The Authority’s role is to ensure that food is safe for human 

consumption, that people have the information they need to 

make informed decisions about what they eat, and that food 

regulations do not disadvantage Australian and New 

Zealand industries in the market place. ANZFA has given 

careful consideration to the views and concerns, expressed 

in the many thousand submissions and letters it received, 

about the safety of gene technology and food produced 

using this technology. 

The Authority’s approach complements both the Australian 

and New Zealand Governments’ decision to establish a 

broad-based gene technology regulatory body which will 

help to ensure a seamless, whole-of-government approach 

to the introduction of the diverse range of products using the 

new technologies. 

Health Ministers are expected to make a decision out-ofsession 

on this important issue within the next few months.

UPOV Developments 

An International Database of new plant varieties is now 

available through subscription. Additional information and 

order forms are available at the back of this issue. 

Certain information on UPOV and its activities is available 

on the INTERNET located at http://www.upov.int 

On March 24 1998, Bulgaria and the Russian Federation 

deposited with the Secretary-General of UPOV their 

instruments of accession to The International Convention 

for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants. As a 

consequence of the deposit by Bulgaria and the Russian 

Federation of their instruments of accession to the 1991 Act, 

this Act entered into force on April 24, 1998. On that date, 

Bulgaria, Denmark, Israel, the Netherlands, the Russian 

Federation and Sweden became bound by the 1991 Act. 

Bulgaria and the Russian Federation became the 36th and 

37th member states of UPOV respectively. The addresses of 

Plant Variety Protection offices in UPOV member states are 

listed in Appendix 5. 

Plant Breeder’s Rights Enacted in 

Republic of Korea 

Effective from 31 December 1997, the Republic of Korea’s 

Seed Industry Law came into effect. This new law will 

protect Plant Breeder’s Rights and establishes the Variety 

Protection Trial Committee under the Ministry of 

Agriculture and Forestry. The aim of this new law is to 

develop the country’s seed industry and contribute to 

agricultural development by enacting PBR and managing 

variety performance of all major crops. Republic of Korea 

is not a member of UPOV. 

Instructions to Authors 

Role and importance of the description 

The main roles of the descriptions are to provide public 

notice that a grant of PBR to a particular variety is imminent, 

to fulfil the examination requirements of the Act and to 

register the official and legal description of a variety. The 

description is also the immediate reference for all legal and 

technical requirements under PBR for twenty or more years. 

Consequently, an accurate and complete description of a 

new variety in the correct format is essential in ensuring the 

smooth progress of an application and the validity of the 

subsequent grant. The need to rectify incomplete and 

poorly formatted descriptions causes frustration for QP’s 

(and PBR staff) and may lead to delays in publication, and 

therefore, the granting of rights. Before submitting a Part 2 

application please ensure all relevant information is 

included and that the technical accuracy of the descriptions 

has been checked. 

A complete Part 2 application consists of the following: 

• the completed first page of the Part 2 form signed by a 

qualified person. 

• “Certification by a Qualified Person” (QP2) form 

completed and signed. 

• a long description – the full text description, together 

with information on the origin and comparative test; 

and a complete comparative table. This is the official 

description of the variety and is used as the reference 

for any objections and comments consequently it 

contains all of the information and data that the 

applicant and/or QP considers relevant in support of 

the application. Generally the format is less strict than 

for the short description. 

• a short description – a concise summary of the long 

description with an abridged comparative table. This is 

the description which is published in the Plant 

Varieties Journal. Consequently the format of the 

short description is very strict so as to maintain 

consistency. The table of the short description should 

only contain characters that are distinct from 

comparators. Any non distinct characters are included 

in the text of the description. In this way as much 

information as possible is included whilst still keeping 

the description concise. As a general rule avoid 

duplication of information. 

• uniformity and stability data in accordance with the 

Part 2 Application form. 

• a photographic slide for publication featuring the 

principal distinguishing characters of the variety and 

eight copies of print of the same subject to include in 

the PBR register. 

• an electronic copy of both descriptions, preferably in 

MS Word for IBM format or Rich Text 

Format(rtf).These can be submitted either on 3 1 ⁄2”disk 

or via Email. 

• payment of the examination fee if not already paid. 

Since both the long and short descriptions play a decisive 

role in the examination process and for fulfilling all the 

requirements under the PBR Act, it is imperative that the 

short and long descriptions of the variety be submitted 

simultaneously. 

General format of the descriptions 

Both descriptions should be presented under the following 

headings; 

• Details of the application 

• Description 

• Origin 

• Comparative Trial 

• Prior Applications and Sales 

• Name of Qualified Person 

• Comparative table 

7


Never use the table creating features of word processing 

packages. Instead use single tabs to align columns. Never 

use drawing objects to create lines, boxes or shading. 

Instead use the underscore character ( _ ) to create lines for 

tables. Tables should normally be either 8.5cm wide (half 

page) or 17.5cm wide (full page). If necessary very wide 

tables can be presented in landscape. 

Describe characters in the following order: Seedling, Plant, 

Stem, Leaf, Inflorescence, Flower, Fruit, Seed, Other 

characters (disease resistance, etc). Characters within 

subheadings should generally be in the following order: 

attitude, height, length, width, size, shape, colour, other. 

Use a concise taxonomic style in which subheadings are 

followed by a colon and characters are separated by a 

comma. 

For example: 

Description (Table nn, Figure nn) Plant: habit narrow 

bushy, late maturing. Stem: anthocyanin absent. Leaf: 

width narrow, length long, green RHS 137A. Flower: 

yellow RHS 12A, petals 5 …..etc 

For consistency, botanical and common names should 

follow those of: Hortus Third, Staff of the LH Bailey 

Hortorium, Macmillan Publishing Company, 1976; Census 

of Australian Vascular Plants, RJ Hnatiuk AGPS, 1990; 

The Smart Gardeners Guide to Common Names of Plants, 

M Adler Rising Sun Press 1994; or A Checklist of 

Economic Plants in Australia, CSIRO 1994. 

The style and formatting of descriptions published in 

recent Plant Varieties Journals should be used as guide 

when preparing the short version. They are a precis of the 

submitted long descriptions. However, not all fully 

represent the precise requirements for the short description. 

If in doubt the QP should contact the PBR office for 

clarification. 

Completed Part 2 Applications should be sent to: 

Plant Breeders Rights Australia 

Department of Primary Industries and Energy 

GPO Box 858 CANBERRA ACT 2601 

To facilitate editing, descriptions may also be sent via 

Email to either: Doug.Waterhouse@dpie.gov.au or 

Tanvir.Hossain@dpie.gov.au 

Note: a signed copy of the Part2 application along with the 

examination fee, slide and 8 photographs must also be sent 

by post. 

Important Changes 

HERBARIUM SPECIMENS 

It is a requirement of the PBR Act that, for all native 

species, a suitable specimen be sent to the Australian 

Cultivar Registration Authority (ACRA). Previously the 

processing of these specimens has been provided free of 

charge. However from 1 January 1998 ACRA will be 

charging a fee of $50 per variety. The fee should be sent 

directly to ACRA along with the specimen and a completed 

‘ACRA Herbarium Specimen’ (Herb1) form. 

CURRENT PBR FORMS 

The official forms for PBR purposes are periodically 

updated. A list of current PBR forms with their numbers 

and date of last update is given below. When a form is 

updated, the month and the year of the last update follows 

the form number within parentheses. For example, Form 

P1 was last updated in July 1997 and therefore this form 

gets a designation of Form P1 (7/97). We also encourage 

you to consult the ‘Guidelines for Completing Part 1 

Application Form’ before filing in the Part 1 Application. 

We encourage you to use the latest version of the forms. 

If you do not have the latest updated version of the form(s) 

you want to use, please contact the PBR office to obtain 

them. Alternatively, forms can be downloaded from the 

PBR web site at http://www.dpie.gov.au/agfor/pbr/pbr.html

Overseas Test Reports 

Many PBR applications are based on overseas DUS test 

reports. In the past the PBR office has obtained these 

reports from the relevant overseas testing authorities. Often 

these reports duplicated information already held by the 

applicant. 

In many cases DUS test reports are accepted in lieu of 

conducting a similar trial in Australia. In this way the 

applicants are waived the costs of conducting a 

comparative trial. However, as the costs of procuring these 

reports were not passed on to the applicants, there is some 

cross subsidisation by other applications. 

The PBR office will not be responsible for obtaining 

overseas DUS test reports on behalf of applicants. It will be 

the sole responsibility of the applicants or their agents to 

obtain these reports. Where applicants already have reports 

they are advised to submit a certified true copy of the report 

with the application. 

Agents seeking test reports are advised to contact their 

principal and procure DUS test reports directly from them. 

Certified true copies of DUS test reports in English will be 

accepted by the PBR office. Some test reports in other 

languages that closely follow UPOV Technical Guidelines 

may be accepted. 

If you have any difficulties in obtaining the report please 

contact the PBR office. 

Description from the Voluntary 

Cereal Registration Scheme 

Starting from this current issue, the Plant Varieties Journal 

will now include descriptions of cultivars registered under 

the Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme. Please note 

that the publication of these descriptions in the Plant 

Varieties Journal does not qualify the cultivars to be 

protected under Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBR). PBR is 

entirely a different scheme and there are certain 

requirements under the Plant Breeder’s Rights Act 1994 

which must be satisfied to be eligible for registration under 

PBR. However, it is possible that some cultivars published 

under the voluntary scheme are also registered under PBR. 

When a cultivar is registered under both schemes, the 

current PBR status of the cultivar is indicated in the 

descriptions. For information on registering a new cereal 

cultivar under the voluntary scheme please refer to page 74 

of this issue.

‘WL516’, ‘Aquarius’ A , and ‘PL69’. Field Trial- Location: 

UQ Gatton College, QLD, Oct 96-Jun 98. Conditions: 

black soil, irrigated. Trial design: spaced plants in a 

randomised block with 5 replicates, rows 1m apart, 50 cm 

spacing between plants within a row. Separate seeded rows 

arranged in 2 replicates for flower colour measurements, 

also with guard rows. Measurements: 75 spaced plants per 

variety were measured for plant height at spring. A high 

percentage of spaced plants then perished and plants from 

the seeded rows were used for plant height measurements 

for height at 4-weeks after cutting and height at full 

flowering. Anthracnose Screening- Trial Location:

plants were raised in U.C. mix in flats (38 cm x 28 cm x 12 

cm) in a glasshouse, 3 week old seedlings inoculated with 

1 million spores/mL conidial suspension (C. trifolii race 1). 

Trial design: randomised complete block with 10 

replicates, one row of each line (6 per flat) in each 

replicate. Measurements: after 7-10 days incubation all 

plants (25 – 30 per row) assessed for disease on a 1-5 scale 

(1 and 2 – resistant; 3, 4 and 5 – susceptible). Phytophthora 

Screening- Trial Location: University of Queensland, St. 

Lucia, Feb 97. Conditions: plants were raised in U.C. mix 

in flats (38 cm x 28 cm x 12 cm) in a glasshouse, 5 week 

old seedlings inoculated with mycelial homogenate (P. 

medicaginis) (0.5 – 1.0 g dry wt mycelium per kg dry wt of 

soil mix). Trial design: randomised complete block with 10 

replicates, one row of each line (6 per flat) in each 

replicate. Measurements: after 21 days incubation all 

plants dug up and roots rated for disease on 1-5 scale (1, 2 

and 3 -resistant; 4 and 5 – susceptible). Spotted Alfalfa 

Aphid Screening-Trial Location: Yanco, NSW, Jul 97. 

Conditions: plants were grown in soil mix under 

glasshouse conditions for 2 weeks and inoculated with 

aphids (Therioaphis maculata). Trial design: 6 replicates. 

Measurements: after 3 weeks the number of seedlings that 

developed trifoliate leaves was counted. Stem Nematode 

Screening- Trial Location: Waite Research Precinct, SA 

Jun 97. Conditions: plants were grown in sand mixture in 

pots under glasshouse conditions 17-20 o C, 50 seeds 

planted per pot and inoculated with stem nematodes 

(Ditylenchus dipsaci) (100/seed). Trial design: 3 replicates 

completely randomised. Measurements: After 6 weeks the 

number of healthy emerged seedlings were counted and 

compared with germination in control pots.

CHANGE IN RIGHT HOLDER 

Plant Breeders Rights on Pyrus communis ‘Tichbon’ 

(Certificate No: 898) were transmitted from Neville 

George Tichbon and Michael Jerome Tichbon to 

Regelia Pty Ltd. 

CORRIGENDA 

In the cumulative index of PVJ 10(4), Trifolium ‘Bolta’ is 

indicated as granted in 10(1) p50 which is incorrect. It has 

not been issued final grant yet. 

In PVJ 11(1), inadvertently the comparative photograph for 

Field Pea ‘King’ was published twice (as Fig 50 and Fig 

51). Where as Fig 50 was supposed to be the comparative 

photograph for Field Pea ‘Magnet’. We are publishing the 

comparative photograph for Field Pea ‘Magnet’ in the 

current issue as Fig 55. We apologise for any 

inconvenience may have caused to the readers due to this 

oversight . 

In PVJ 11(2) p 66 the PBR application Rosa hybrid 

‘Protem’ (Application No: 97/077) has been listed under 

Applications Withdrawn. In fact, the application was 

refused under Section 30(3) of Plant Breeder’s Rights Act 

1994. 

In PVJ 11(2) p65, the new name for PBR application 

Buchloe dactyloides (Application No: 92/316) should have 

been published as ‘Oasis’ without a synonym. 

56


The correct botanical names for the following applications 

are as given below: 

‘Cream Butterfly’ syn Cream Star (Application No: 

92/056) – Argyranthemum frutescens 

‘Miro’ (Application No: 92/180) – Argyranthemum

‘Willowbridge Snow’ (Application No: 97/313) – 


‘Willowbridge Wings’ (Application No: 98/043) – 


‘Ballerina Rose’ (Application No: 90/056) – Limonium 

peregrinum 

‘Cut Above’ (Application No: 97/278) Pittosporum 

bicolour x Pittosporum undulatum 

‘Christmas Fantasy’ (Application No: 90/043) – 


‘Magic Fantasy’ syn Christmas Magic 11 (Application 

No: 90/087) – Schlumbergera truncata 

‘Lavender Fantasy’ syn Lavender Magic 11 

(Application No: 90/088) – Schlumbergera truncata 

‘Sanibel’ (Application No: 92/092) – Schlumbergera 

truncata 

‘St. Charles’ (Application No: 96/034) – Schlumbergera 

truncata 

‘White Fantasy’ (Application No: 98/088) – 


‘Nathus Green’ (Application No: 97/101) – Sporobolus 

virginicus 

‘Emer I’ syn Emerald Isle (Application No: 97/291) – 

Ulmus parvifolia 

‘Bantam’ syn Rio (Application No: 97/128) – Capsicum 

annuum var fasiculatum 

‘Thimble’ syn T6 (Application No: 97/129) – Capsicum

APPLICATIONS REFUSED 

The following application was refused as it failed to meet 

the requirements of Section 43(6b) of the Plant Breeders 

Right Act 1994. 

Rosa hybrid ‘Auscomp’ syn Happy Child (Application 

No: 98/082) 

APPENDIX 1 

FEES 

Two fee structures exist as a result of the transition from 

Plant Variety Rights to Plant Breeders Rights. 

For new applications (those lodged on or after 11 

November 1994) the PBR fees apply. For older 

applications lodged before 11 November 1994 and not 

finally disposed of (Granted, Withdrawn, Refused etc.) 

the PVR fees in force at the time apply. 

Payment of Fees 

All cheques for fees should be made payable and sent to: 

Plant Breeders Rights Office 

DPIE 

GPO Box 858 

Canberra, ACT 2601 

The application fee ($300) must accompany the 

application at the time of lodgement. 

Consequences of not paying fees when due 

Application fee 

Should an application not be accompanied by the 

prescribed application fee the application will be deemed 

to be ‘non-valid’ and neither assigned an application 

number nor examined for acceptance pending the payment 

of the fee. 

Examination fee 

Non-payment of the examination fee of an application will 

automatically result, at the end of 12 months from the date 

of acceptance, in a refusal of the application. The 

consequences of refusal are the same as for applications 

deemed to be inactive (see ‘inactive applications’ below). 

Field examinations and final examinations falling within 

the first 12 months will not be undertaken without prior 

payment of the examination fee. 

Consideration of a request for an extension of the period of 

provisional protection from the initial 12 month period 

may require the prior payment of the examination fee. 

Certificate fee 

Following the successful completion of the examination, 

including the public notice period, the applicant will be 

required and invoiced to pay the certification fee. Payment 

of the certification fee is a prerequisite to granting PBR and 

issuing the official certificate by the PBR office. Failure to 

pay the fee may result in a refusal to grant PBR. 

Annual fee 

Should an annual renewal fee not be paid within 30 days 

after the due date, the grant of PBR will be revoked under 

Section 50 of the PBR Act. To assist grantees, the PBR 

office will invoice grantees or their Australian agents for 

renewal fees. 

Inactive applications 

An application will be deemed inactive if, after 24 months 

of provisional protection (or 12 months in the case of nonpayment 

of the examination fee) the PBR Office has not 

received a completed application or has not been advised to 

proceed with the examination or an extension of 

provisional protection has not been requested or not 

granted or a certificate fee has not been paid. Inactive 

applications will be examined and, should they not fully 

comply with Section 26 of the PBR Act 1994, they will be 

refused. As a result provisional protection will lapse, 

priority claims on that variety will be lost and should the 

variety have been sold, it will be ineligible for plant variety 

rights on reapplication. Continued use of labels or any 

other means to falsely imply that a variety is protected after 

the application has been refused is an offence under 

Section 53(1) of the Act.

‘QUALIFIED PERSONS’ 

The following persons have been accredited by the Plant 

Breeders Rights office based on information provided by 

these persons. From the information provided by the 

applicants, the PBR office believes that these people can 

fulfil the role of ‘qualified person’ in the application for 

plant breeder’s rights. Neither accreditation nor publication 

of a name in the list of persons is an implicit 

recommendation of the person so listed. The PBR office 

cannot be held liable for damages that may arise from the 

omission or inclusion of a person’s name in the list nor 

does it assume any responsibility for losses or damages 

arising from agreements entered into between applicants 

and any person in the list of accredited persons. Qualified 

persons charge a fee for services rendered. 

A guide to the use of the index of consultants: 

• locate in the left column of Table 1 the plant group for 

which you are applying; 

• listed in the right column are the names of accredited 

qualified persons from which you can choose a 

consultant; 

• in Table 2 find that consultant’s name, telephone 

number and area in which they are willing to consult 

(they may consult outside the nominated area); 

• using the “Nomination of Qualified Person” form as a 

guide, agree provisionally on the scope and terms of 

the consultancy; complete the form and attach it to 

Part 1 of the application form; 

• when you are notified that your nomination of a 

consultant qualified person is acceptable in the letter of 

acceptance of your application for PBR you should 

again consult the qualified person when planning the 

rest of the application for PBR.

APPENDIX 6 

CENTRALISED TESTING CENTRES 

Under Plant Breeder’s Rights Regulations introduced in 

1996, establishments may be officially authorised by the 

PBR office to conduct test growings. An authorised 

establishment will be known as Centralised Test Centre 

(CTC). 

Usually, the implementation of PBR in Australia relies on 

a ‘breeder testing’ system in which the applicant, in 

conjunction with a nominated Qualified Person (QP), 

establishes, conducts and reports a comparative trial. More 

often than not, trials by several breeders are being 

conducted concurrently at different sites. This makes valid 

comparisons difficult and often results in costly 

duplication. 

While the current system is and will remain satisfactory, 

other optional testing methods are now available which 

will add flexibility to the PBR process. 

Centralised Testing is one such optional system. It is based 

upon the authorisation of private or public establishments 

to test one or more genera of plants. Applicants can choose 

to submit their varieties for testing by a CTC or continue to 

do the test themselves. Remember, using a CTC to test 

your variety is voluntary. 

The use of CTCs recognises the advantages of testing a 

larger number of candidate varieties (with a larger number 

of comparators) in a single comprehensive trial. Not only is 

there an increase in scientific rigour but there are 

substantial economies of scale and commensurate cost 

savings. A CTC will establish, conduct and report each trial 

on behalf of the applicant. 

The PBR office has amended its fees so that cost savings 

can be passed to applicants who choose to test their 

varieties in a CTC. Accordingly, when 5 or more candidate 

varieties of the same genus are tested simultaneously, each 

will qualify for the CTC examination fee of $800. This is a 

saving of nearly 40% over the normal fee of $1400. 

Trials containing less than 5 candidate varieties capable of 

being examined simultaneously will not be considered as 

Centralised test trials regardless of the authorisation of the 

facility. Candidate varieties in non-qualifying small trials 

will not qualify for CTC reduction of examination fees. 

Establishments wishing to be authorised as a CTC may 

apply in writing to the PBR office outlining their claims 

against the selection criteria. Initially, only one CTC will 

be authorised for each genus. Exemptions to this rule can 

be claimed due to special circumstances, industry needs 

and quarantine regulations. Authorisations will be 

reviewed periodically. 

Authorisation of CTCs is not aimed solely at large research 

institutions. Smaller establishments with appropriate 

facilities and experience, can also apply for CTC status. 

There is no cost for authorisation as a CTC. 

APPLICATIONS FOR AUTHORISATION AS A 

‘CENTRALISED TESTING CENTRE’ 

Establishments interested in gaining authorisation as a 

Centralised Testing Centre should apply in writing 

addressing each of the Conditions and Selection Criteria 

outlined below. 

Conditions and Selection Criteria 

To be authorised as a CTC, the following conditions and 

criteria will need to be met: 

Appropriate facilities 

While in part determined by the genera being tested, all 

establishments must have facilities that allow the conduct 

and completion of moderate to large scale scientific 

experiments without undue environmental influences. 

Again dependent on genera, a range of complementary 

testing and propagation facilities (e.g. outdoor, glasshouse, 

shadehouse, tissue culture stations ) is desirable. 

Experienced staff 

Adequately trained staff, and access to appropriately 

accredited Qualified Persons, with a history of successful 

PVR/PBR applications will need to be available for all 

stages of the trial from planting to the presentation of the 

analysed data. These staff will require the authority to 

ensure timely maintenance of the trial. Where provided by 

the PBR office, the protocol and technical guidelines for 

the conduct of the trial must be followed. 

Substantial industry support 

Normally the establishment will be recognised by a state or 

national industry society or association. This may 

include/be replaced by a written commitment from major 

nurseries or other applicants, who have a history of 

regularly making applications for PBR in Australia, to use 

the facility. 

Capability for long term storage of genetic material 

Depending upon the genus, a CTC must be in a position to 

make a long term commitment to collect and maintain, at 

minimal cost, genetic resources of vegetatively propagated 

species as a source of comparative varieties. Applicants 

indicating a willingness to act as a national genetic 

resource centre in perpetuity will be favoured. 

Contract testing for 3rd Parties 

Unless exempted in writing by the PBR office operators of 

a CTC must be prepared to test varieties submitted by a 

third party. 

Relationship between CTC and 3rd Parties 

A formal arrangement between the CTC and any third 

party including fees for service will need to be prepared 

and signed before the commencement of the trial. It will 

include among other things: how the plant material will be 

delivered (e.g. date, stage of development plant, condition 

etc); allow the applicant and/or their agent and QP access 

to the site during normal working hours; and release the 

use of all trial data to the owners of the varieties included 

in the trial. 

One trial at a time 

Unless exempted in writing by the PBR office, all 

candidates and comparators should be tested in a single 

trial. 

One CTC per genus 

Normally only one CTC will be authorised to test a genus. 

Special circumstances may exist (environmental factors, 

quarantine etc) to allow more than one CTC per genus, 

though a special case will need to be made to the PBR 

office. More than one CTC maybe allowed for roses. 

One CTC may be authorised to test more than one genus. 

Authorisations for each genus will be reviewed 

periodically. 

Brief details of all applications for authorisation as a CTC 

will be published in each edition of the Plant Varieties 

Journal.

UPOV – ROM Plant Variety Database 

English Only 

ISSN 1028-4877 

UPOV 

A New Service Offered 

by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants 

(UPOV) 

UPOV-ROM PLANT VARIETY DATABASE 

A Plant Variety Database on CD-ROM, Updated Bi-monthly 

The UPOV-ROM Plant Variety Database contains data on plant varieties made available to UPOV by UPOV member States. 

At present 28 member States regularly submit data for varieties which are 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

protected, 

the subject of applications for protection, 

included in national lists of varieties admitted for marketing, or 

the subject of applications for inclusion in such lists. 

Some States do not yet provide data for all listed varieties while others provide data only for protected varieties. All UPOV 

member States, however, are working to improve the coverage and the quality of their data. Some countries also submit 

information on varieties which are not protected or national listed. 

UPOV has obtained the permission from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to include 

the OECD List of Cultivars Eligible for Certification in the UPOV-ROM Database. At present, the Database contains only the 

main information from the 1996 List but the full text with all footnotes is on the disc but in “portable document” format (pdf) 

only for the time being. UPOV expects in due course to be able to include in the Database the list of varieties protected by 

the European Union Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO). For the time being, this data is not yet included in the Database 

but is available on the disc in pdf format. 

The Database is a compilation of data submitted by the competent authorities of UPOV member States and certain 

intergovernmental organizations in a standard format. The Office of UPOV processes the data as it is received. It is not 

responsible for the completeness or quality of the data. 

For each variety a total of 37 different items of information may be submitted. However, at present most States provide a 

limited number of items of information (about 10 to 15 or even less in the case of non-protected, non-listed varieties or very 

old varieties). A hypothetical worked example of the format with explanatory comments is attached. 

UPOV-ROM incorporates the retrieval software of the JOUVE company in Paris called GTITM. The efficient use of this 

software requires at least a PC 486 processor (but preferably a 586 processor) with at least 4 MB (but preferably with 8 MB) 

RAM. A standard CD-ROM drive is necessary. 

In addition to the compilation of data submitted by UPOV member States, UPOV-ROM contains at present 

(1) a Taxon File giving information on the translation of common names from English into French, German, Spanish and 

Latin. This file, however, has not been recently updated and may be phased out in favor of a planned UPOV Code for 

species; 

(2) the unprocessed raw data of the UPOV member States; this is password-protected and restricted to the competent 

authorities of national governments, 

71


(3) a variety of texts (in a hypertext database in pdf format), accessible with the Acrobat reader included in the software 

on the disc; the texts include a guide to the use of the UPOV-ROM, the history of UPOV-ROM, detailed information 

and explanations on the data of each State, the UPOV General Information Brochure, the texts of the various Acts of 

the UPOV Convention, the UPOV Recommendations on Variety Denominations with preset classes, the format for the 

submission of data, an updated list of UPOV member States and the addresses of their offices, and a list of UPOV 

publications. 

UPOV-ROM is expected to be updated bi-monthly. The subscription price per year for a minimum of six issues is 750 Swiss 

francs, plus postage. The UPOV-ROM is provided for the exclusive use of the subscriber. If a subscriber wishes to make 

UPOV-ROM data more widely available, the prior authorization of the Office of UPOV is required. 

Subscriptions will be administrated on UPOV’s behalf by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) at the address 

given on the attached order form. 

The Office of UPOV will, on request, provide potential users with a trial copy of UPOV-ROM in order that they can become 

familiar with its software and user interface.

Register of Australian 

Winter CerealCultivars 

Varietal Descriptions from the Voluntary Scheme for the Registration of Cereal Cultivars 

Recently some procedural changes have been implemented in the operations of the Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme. 

The Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBR) office and the Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme are collaborating to ensure that 

descriptions of new varieties, whether they are protected by PBR or not, are made available. 

Starting from this current issue, the Plant Varieties Journal will include descriptions of cultivars registered under the 

Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme. Please note that publishing a description in the Plant Varieties Journal does not 

automatically qualify a cultivar to be protected under Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBR). PBR is entirely a different 

scheme and there are specific requirements under the Plant Breeder’s Rights Act 1994 which must be satisfied to be 

eligible for registration under PBR. However, it is possible that some cultivars published in this section of the journal are 

also registered under PBR. When a cultivar is registered under both schemes, the current PBR status of the cultivar is 

indicated in the descriptions. 

A Check list for Registering New Cereal Cultivars in the Voluntary Scheme 

Breeders considering submitting a new variety to the voluntary scheme should: 

1. Clear the proposed name with Australian Winter Cereal Collection (AWCC). The AWCC will query available information 

systems to ensure that the proposed name will not be confused with other cultivars of the same group and issue a registration 

number. The timeframe for this process will usually be less than 24 hours, and can be done by phone, fax or by e-mail. 

2. Complete a registration form, including the registration number and forward the form to the Voluntary Cereal Registration 

Scheme – either by an e-mail attachment or by ordinary mail on a 3.5 inch a IBM formatted floppy diskette. The breeders 

will be notified of the acceptance for a new registration within one week of its receipt. 

3. Send an untreated one kilogram (1 kg) reference (or type) sample of seed to the Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme for 

long term storage in the AWCC. Please indicate if there are any restrictions on the distribution of this seed. Unless advised 

to the contrary it will be assumed that seed samples of registered cultivars can be freely distributed by the AWCC to bona fide 

scientists for research purposes. 

4. Provide a description of the new cultivar for publication in the Plant Varieties Journal and send it to the Voluntary Cereal 

Registration Scheme in Word for Windows or in RTF format – either by an e-mail attachment or by ordinary mail on a 3.5 

inch a IBM formatted floppy diskette. In general, a description should contain the following headings: 

• Common name 

• Botanical name 

• Cultivar name 

• Registration number 

• Registration date 

• Name and address of Originators 

• Name and address of Registrar of Cereal Cultivars 

• Released by 

• Synonyms (if any) 

• Parentage 

• Breeding and selection 

• Morphology 

• Disease Reaction 

• Yield 

• Quality 

• PBR Status (if any) 

• Acknowledgment( if any) 

• Breeder 

In addition, you may also include other headings if they are relevant to the description of the variety. Please follow the general 

style and format of the descriptions published in the current issue. Please note: always format your description in a single 

column, do not format in two columns. Columns will be formatted during the publication process. 

74

VOLUNTARY CEREAL REGISTRATION 


The Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme will electronically forward your description to the Plant Varieties Journal for 

publication. Plant Varieties Journal reserves the right for editorial corrections and the edited versions will be forwarded to 

the breeder for review before the final publication. Publication cost will be charged on a cost recovery basis with invoices 

sent directly from the PBR office to the breeder. The nominal cost will be $400.00 (four hundred dollars) per variety.

Registrar of Cereal Cultivar : M.C. Mackay 

Australian Winter Cereals Collection, RMB 844,

Released by The University of Adelaide. 

Parentage 

Bevy is an open-pollinated composite of 9 originating lines 

derived from crosses and selections of South Australian 

Commercial Rye (SAR), Snoopy (SNPY), Acca (ACC) and 

Sommerroggen (SO) ryes. Individual crosses were: 

SAR/SNPY5, SAR/SNPY5, SNPY/ACC, SNPY1, 

SNPY2, SNPY/ACC, SAR/SNPY5, SAR/SNPY7 and 

SO/ACC. 

Origin 

The original crosses were made in 1980 from spring ryes 

collected by CJ Driscoll and DHB Sparrow. Selection was 

applied in generations F2-F4 for suitable agronomic type 

and short straw, using an ear-to-row method and openpollinated 

progeny testing. Selection for yield was imposed 

in generations F5-F6 on replicated space-planted single 

rows at two sites, talls having been removed prior to 

pollination. The F7 seed was sown in isolated polycross 

blocks at sites on deep sand in the Murray Mallee and 

Central Eyre Peninsula. The best lines were identified from 

progeny tests for combining ability and a further yield 

evaluation of lines at F6. Remnant F6 seed of the nine best 

lines which had tested resistant to cereal cyst nematode was 

then bulked. Subsequent multiplications of this bulk were 

subjected to light selection for reduction of tall plants. The 

resulting variety ‘Bevy’ is a composite of predominantly 

semi-dwarf plant types. A proportion of tall and short dwarf 

types are present in proportions which have remained 

constant over a three year period. 

Morphological description 

Bevy has long, fully-awned heads which nod at maturity. It 

is a composite variety segregating for height. Semi-dwarf 

types predominate, 80% being of average height 100cm, 

5% are short dwarfs of average height 70cm and 15% are 

talls of average height 150cm, a similar height to South 

Australian Commercial. The grain of Bevy is generally 

slightly smaller than that of SA Commercial with a lighter 

grain weight. Grain colour is mixed, brown and grey, with 

fewer very dark grains than SA Commercial. 

Agronomic characteristics 

Bevy is a spring rye which matures about two weeks later 

than SA Commercial. It has good adaptation to sandy, acid 

and trace-element deficient soil. It is less prone to lodging 

than SAR and has a considerably increased yield potential. 

Bevy is intended for sowing in drought prone areas with 

poor soil which are currently sown to SA Commercial. 

Bevy is resistant to cereal cyst nematode (CCN) and is a 

poor host for root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus 

neglectus). Bevy is 50% resistant to rye leaf rust culture 

72359, 67% resistant to rye stem rust culture 930022 and 

89% resistant to wheat stem rust : Oxley pathotype, 343- 

1,2,3,5,6.

2//Kite/3/WW15) 

Breeding and selection 

The final cross was made in 1982. Pedigree selection was 

conducted from F 2 to F 4 generations. Selection during 

these generations was for stem, leaf and stripe rust as well 

as agronomic characters. Yield and early generation quality 

evaluation in unreplicated trials was conducted from 1988 

to 1992. Replicated yield trials and large scale quality 

evaluation were conducted between 1993 and 1996. 

Morphology and physiology 

M5428 is a winter wheat with maturity equal to Shrike and 

slightly earlier than Rosella. Optimal sowing time is from 

early April to mid May. Heads are awned with white chaff. 

It is a semi-dwarf 5cm shorter and with similar straw 

strength to Rosella. 

Disease reactions 

M5428 possesses the gene Sr26 which confers resistance to 

all current field strains of stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. 

Sp. tritici). It is seedling susceptible and moderately 

resistant as an adult plant to stripe rust (P. Striiformis f. Sp. 

striiformis), moderately susceptible to leaf rust (P. 

recondita), Septoria tritici blotch (Mycosphaerella 

graminicola) and flag smut (Urosystis agropyri). It is 

moderately resistant to moderately susceptible to Septoria 

nodorum blotch (Leptosphaeria nodorum) and susceptible 

to yellow spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repens). 

Yield 

Average yields of M5428 are slightly higher than Shrike 

and lower than those of Rosella in New South Wales 

silogroup south. 

Quality 

M5428 is a soft grained with similar grain characteristics to 

Rosella. Flour extraction has been variable with overall 

extraction similar to and flour colour whiter than Rosella. 

Farinograph water absorption, dough development time, 

extensibility and starch pasting properties are all similar to 

Rosella. The white flour colour makes M5428 less suited to 

white salted noodles than Rosella. However it makes it 

better suited than Rosella to a range of other products 

which includes steamed buns and cakes. 

Role 

M5428 is an early maturing winter wheat with resistance to 

stem rust and acceptable resistance to stripe and leaf rust. 

It is being registered as a quality standard for steam bun. It 

is unlikely to be widely grown.

VICAM//CIANO/7C/3/KAL/BB 


Diamondbird is a selection from the material received 

through IBWSN. Row five of K2011 was selected for its 

superior agronomic characters and its tolerance to 

Septoria, stem, leaf and stripe rusts. Selections for rust 

resistance were made at the Plant Breeding Institute, 

Sydney University, Cobbitty. Yield and early generation 

quality evaluation in unreplicated trials were conducted 

from 1988 to 1993. Replicated yield trials and large-scale 

quality evaluations were done in 1994 and 1996. 

Diamondbird has high yield and excellent baking qualities. 

Its flour extraction is slightly lower than Dollarbird. 

Diamondbird is tolerant of acid soils and is released in the 

Australian hard category. 

Morphology 

Diamondbird is a main-season semidwarf spring wheat and 

76



is awned. It is similar to Dollarbird in plant type, maturity 

and acid soil tolerance. It is free threshing and holds its 

grains better than Dollarbird. 

Disease and pest reactions 

Diamondbird is resistant to the current stem, leaf and stripe 

rust strains and has good tolerance to Septoria tritici 

blotch. Rust tests were conducted in the 1993 Disease 

Progress Nursery and are reported in the National Wheat 

Rust Control Program Circular # 32. Diamondbird carries 

Sr2, Sr9g, and Sr11. Stripe Rust resistance is due to Yr7 

and APR. The Adult Plant Resistance is evident by the 

seedling susceptibility to 110E143+ and resistance in field. 

Leaf rust resistance is probably due to Lr1 and Lr13 and 

APR. 

Yield 

Diamondbird has consistently out yielded Dollarbird and 

Janz especially under acid soil conditions. Detailed trial 

results are reported in the Winter Crop Variety Trials for 

1993 to 1996. On an average, it has yielded 106% and 

104% of Janz in the east and west, respectively, of the 

Silogroup South. It out-yielded Janz in the Silogroup North 

as well but with a smaller margin. 

Quality 

Diamondbird is strong hard wheat with good grain 

characteristics. It combines high yield and high grain 

protein characters. In most quality characters, it is equal to 

Dollarbird and Janz. However, its extensibility and starch 

paste viscosity are better than Janz. Flour and bread 

colours are better than Dollarbird. Flour paste viscosity 

peak height is equal to Dollarbird but higher than Banks 

and Janz. It has very good starch properties for the starch 

gluten industry. Good starch pasting properties and the 

absence of the granule bound starch synthase protein from 

chromosome 4A (the null 4A type) make it potentially 

suitable for noodle making. 

Detailed quality tests were reported in the Uniform Quality 

Testing (UQT) Committee report of June 1995 and updated 

in October 1997 meeting. 

Identification 

UQT committee recommended its release in the Australian 

Hard grade. It is similar to Dollarbird in most 

morphological and agronomic characters but is different in 

several ways such as: 

Many stem rust resistance genes are common in the two 

lines but Diamondbird carries Sr11 and Dollarbird carries 

Sr30. 

Diamondbird has much longer Glumes Beak Length than 

Dollarbird. 

Diamondbird is distinguishable from Dollarbird by micro 

satellite (primer’s K7 and COB2) and by a glydine encoded 

band by Gli-2 locus.

55//HRW/Primepi 


The female parent, a sib of Sunfield, was developed by the 

Plant Breeding Institute, University of Sydney, Narrabri. 

The line was given the code B2806 and was first grown by 

Cargill Seeds in 1985. It was observed to have good anther 

extrusion characteristics. A male-sterile form of the line 

was developed by the introduction of T. timopheevi 

cytoplasm through backcrossing. It was subsequently 

found to have good general combining ability when it was 

tested in hybrid combinations with several fertility restorer 

lines, including a line coded as R5084. 

The male parent, code named R5084, was developed using 

a modified pedigree breeding method. It was selected for 

anther extrusion and for male-fertility restoration in F1 

hybrid combinations with male-sterile lines having T. 

timopheevi cytoplasm. 

R5084 was identified as having good general combining 

ability in tests as early as 1982. R5084 is the male parent 

for Hybrid Meteor, registered in 1988 and for Hybrid 

Pulsar registered in 1992. Hybrid Apollo was first tested in 

1989. 

Morphology 

Hybrid Apollo is a tall semi-dwarf spring wheat with good 

straw strength. It is a mid-season maturing wheat suitable 

for sowing in north-western NSW from early-May to mid- 

June. It flowers and matures one to two days earlier than 

Hybrid Meteor and Miskle. Its maturity is influenced by 

temperature and stress and under some conditions may be 

significantly earlier than Miskle. Hybrid Apollo has 

prominent tip-awns, white glumes and is more difficult to 

thresh than many currently grown fully awned cultivars. 


Hybrid Apollo is resistant to all current pathotypes of stem 

rust. It is believed to be heterozygous for Sr5, Sr12 and 

Sr26. It is resistant in the adult stage to stripe rust. Hybrid 

Apollo is moderately resistant to leaf rust and is believed to 

be heterozygous for Lr1 and Lr13. 

Hybrid Apollo is susceptible to crown rot and common root 

77


rot and intolerant of root lesion nematodes but is resistant 

to flag smut. 

Yield 

Hybrid Apollo was tested in northern NSW by NSW 

Agriculture, Cargill Seeds and Hybrid Wheat Research 

between 1989 and 1994. Hybrid Apollo was compared to 

the currently grown mid-season varieties. Hybrid Apollo 

outyielded the two mid-season hybrids, Hybrid Pulsar and 

Hybrid Meteor by 3 and 4% respectively. 

Hybrid Apollo outyielded the mid-season cultivars Janz, 

Sunvale, Cunningham, Sunco and Sunmist by 5, 9, 10, 11 

and 15% respectively. Hybrid Apollo appears to respond to 

favourable conditions of moisture and soil fertility to a 

greater degree than other cultivars. 

Quality 

Hybrid Apollo is a hard white grained wheat with good 

overall quality. It has acceptable test weight, slightly lower 

than Hartog and Sunco. The protein content flour yield, 

flour colour, Farinograph, water absorption, extensograph 

resistance and baking score of Hybrid Apollo are 

intermediate between the Prime Hard cultivars Hartog and 

Sunco. Hybrid Apollo has slightly lower extensibility than 

Hartog. 

Hybrid Apollo has been approved for receival into the 

Prime Hard classification.

form of B2806 is also used commercially as the female 

parent of Hybrid Apollo. 

The male parent was developed from crosses initiated 

during the 1970’s. The male parent was coded as R568G 

and was selected from a family which exhibited 

outstanding levels of anther extrusion, early maturity and 

good general combining ability. 

Hybrid Gemini was tested between 1989 and 1994. 

Morphology 

Hybrid Gemini is a semi-dwarf spring wheat with good 

straw strength. It is a quick maturing wheat suitable for 

sowing in north-western NSW from late-May to early-July. 

It flowers and matures about one day later than the cultivar 

Hartog. Hybrid Gemini is fully awned with white glumes 

and threshes readily, but does not shed grain at maturity. 


Hybrid Gemini is resistant to all current pathotypes of stem 

rust. It is believed to be heterozygous for Sr5, Sr12 and 

Sr26. It is moderately resistant as an adult plant to stripe 

rust and resistant to leaf rust. It is believed to be 

heterozygous for Lr1 and Lr13. Hybrid Gemini is 

susceptible to yellow spot, crown rot and common root rot 

and intolerant of root lesion nematodes. It is resistant to 

flag smut. 

Yield 

Hybrid Gemini has been tested in north-western NSW and 

compared to commonly grown cultivars in from 36 to 556 

direct comparisons. It has outyielded Janz and Hartog by 8 

and 10% respectively, and outyields most other quick 

maturing cultivars grown in northwestern NSW by a 

similar margin. 

Quality 

Hybrid Gemini is a hard white grained wheat with good 

overall quality. It is similar to the cultivar Banks in test 

weight, protein content, milling yield, Farinograph water 

absorption, extensograph resistance and extensibility, but 

has lower flour colour. Hybrid Gemini is superior to both 

Banks and Sunco in loaf volume and bake score. 

Hybrid Gemini has been approved for receival in the 

Australian Hard classification.

The female parent coded B6020 was selected from crosses 

made during the 1970’s and early 1980’s. It was identified 

as having exceptional yielding ability, wide adaptation and 

quick maturity. A male-sterile form of B6020 was 

developed by the introduction of T. timopheevi cytoplasm 

through backcrossing. It was subsequently found to have 

good general combining ability when it was tested in 

hybrid combinations with several fertility-restorer lines. It 

was also found to carry factors which rendered it ‘difficult 

to restore’ so that only a limited number of fertility-restorer 

lines were capable of producing fully-fertile F1 hybrids 

when crossed onto the male-sterile form of B6020. 

The male parent was also developed from crosses initiated 

during the 1970’s. The male parent was coded as R568G 

and was selected from a family which exhibited 

outstanding levels of anther extrusion, early maturity and 

good general combining ability. 

Hybrid Mercury was tested between 1989 and 1994. 

Morphology 

Hybrid Mercury is a semi-dwarf spring wheat with good 

straw strength. It is a very quick maturing wheat suitable 

for sowing in north-western NSW from early-June to July. 

It flowers and matures at a time similar to Gatcher and 3-6 

days earlier than Hartog. Hybrid Mercury is fully awned, 

has white glumes and threshes readily. The hybrid may 

shed grain if exposed to strong winds after maturity. 


Hybrid Mercury is resistant to all current field pathotypes 

of stem rust. It is heterozygous for Sr26. It is moderately 

resistant as an adult plant to stripe rust and moderately 

resistant to leaf rust. Hybrid Mercury is susceptible to 

crown rot and common root rot, intolerant of root lesion 

nematodes, but moderately resistant to flag smut and 

moderately susceptible to yellow spot. 

Yield 

Hybrid Mercury has been compared to Janz and Hartog in 

at least 58 direct comparisons. Hybrid Mercury outyielded 

these cultivars by 13 and 15% respectively. Hybrid 

Mercury outyielded all other quick maturing cultivars 

commonly grown in north-western NSW by a similar or 

greater margin. 

Hybrid Mercury combines high yield potential with quick 

maturity, which should make the hybrid very useful in 

areas with unpredictable weather patterns including the 

less favoured areas of north-western NSW, and for late 

planted irrigated situations. 

Quality 

Hybrid Mercury is a hard white grained wheat with good 

overall quality. It has excellent test weight, flour yield 

similar to Hartog and flour colour similar to Sunco. Hybrid 

Mercury has similar extensograph resistance and baking 

score to Sunco, however its protein content and dough 

extensibility is slightly lower than Hartog. 

Hybrid Mercury has been approved for receival into the 

Prime Hard classification.

M2293/Quarrion (M2293=WW15/M1238-/Kite/3/WW15) 


The final cross was made in 1981. Pedigree selection for 

habit, plant type, rust resistance was conducted from F2 to 

F6 generations. Yield and small scale quality evaluation 

were conducted from 1988-92. Wide scale regional yield 

and large scale quality evaluation were conducted from 

1993-1996. 

Morphology and physiology 

M5429 is an awnless winter wheat with white chaff. 

Average development is slightly earlier than Rosella and 

Triller. It is of similar height and straw strength compared 

to Rosella and Triller. M5429 is not highly tolerant of acid 

soils. 


M5429 is resistant to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. Sp. 

tritici), moderately resistant to stripe rust (P. striiformis f. 

Sp. striiformis) and moderately susceptible to leaf rust (P. 

recondita). The pedigree and rust reactions suggests stem 

rust resistance is conferred by the gene Sr26 plus other 

genes. M5429 is moderately resistant to Septoria tritici 

blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola) , this level of 

resistance is similar to Rosella. 

Yield 

Yields of M5429 have been equal to Rosella in irrigated 

trials. Over all sites, both dryland and irrigation, yields of 

M5429 have been higher than those of Rosella, however 

the difference is not significant. 

Quality 

M5429 is of soft biscuit quality and is superior to Triller. 

Role 

M5429 will compete with Triller. It possesses improved 

biscuit quality compared to Triller, however this is offset by 

it’s lower yield. The combination of winter habit and prime 

soft quality make it a valuable addition to the varieties 

available for production of this grade on irrigation.

Picola was bred by the Department of Natural Resources 

and Environment at the Victorian Institute for Dryland 

Agriculture, Horsham, Victoria, using a modified pedigree 

selection method from a cross made by the controlled 

pollination of the breeding line 75031 with Elgina. The 

initial cross was made in 1979 by Mr. Sandor Lokos, 

subsequent selection was conducted by Mr. Selwyn Ellis 

and advanced evaluation directed by Mr. David Moody. 

Picola was selected for improved yield, grain plumpness 

and malting quality in the 400 – 500 mm rainfall districts 

of Victoria. Picola is derived from a selection made at the 

F4 generation. Seed of the released cultivar was derived 

from a composite of uniform reselections taken from the 

F9 generation. Prior to production of basic seed, Picola had 

been propagated for 6 generations by open pollination 

following the composition of reselections. The original F4 

derived line reached State-wide (Stage 4) trials in 1987; the 

composite of reselections was re-entered in Stage 4 trials in 

1991. Commercial scale production for malting and 

brewing trials occurred from 1995 – 1997, with the Malting 

and Brewing Industries Barley Technical Committee 

endorsing the malting quality of Picola in December 1997. 

Morphology 

Picola is a tall, 2 row, midseason maturity spring barley 

with light green foliage and a semi-prostrate early growth 

habit. It has medium level of flag leaf anthocyanin 

colouration of auricles and weak anthocyanin colouration 

of awn tips. It matures 2-4 days later than Schooner and is 

suitable for the medium to high rainfall districts in northeastern 

and southern Victoria. Picola is a suitable 

replacement for Parwan in northcentral and northeastern 

Victoria. The relative flowering date of Picola compared 

with Parwan is dependent on sowing date. Parwan 

possesses a long basic vegetative phase of development 

which delays the rate of development when sown in spring. 

When sown in winter Picola will flower 1-2 days later than 

Parwan; when sown in spring Picola will flower over 7 

days earlier than Parwan. 


Picola is rated as moderately susceptible to scald, 

possessing a similar level of field resistance as Schooner, 

Arapiles and Parwan. Picola has a moderate level of 

resistance to the spot form of net blotch, being similar in 

field reaction to Arapiles and superior to Schooner and 

Parwan. Picola is susceptible to cereal cyst nematode and 

barley yellow dwarf virus. 

Yield 

Picola, on average yields 3% higher than Parwan in the 

North-eastern region of Victoria. 

Quality 

Picola has a moderately plump grain size, being 

substantially superior to Parwan and equivalent to Arapiles. 

80



On average, it has higher malt extract, higher 

fermentability, higher diastase and slightly lower wort 

beta-glucan and viscosity levels than Parwan. The quality 

profile of Picola is very similar to Arapiles.

The cross was made at Tamworth in 1988. Subsequent 

generations were selected in the glasshouse and field at 

Tamworth and Breeza using a modified pedigree method. 

Seeds from F 3 plants derived from a single F 2 plant were 

bulked for yield testing, which commenced in 1992. 

Selection for various agronomic, disease, and quality 

characteristics were practised on all generations. The Waite 

Institute and NSW Agriculture conducted advanced field 

trials in South Australia and northern NSW, respectively. 

Morphology 

Tamaroi is a bearded, free-threshing, short-medium 

statured durum wheat of early maturity. The head is white 

and square with smooth glumes and persistent long awns. 

The auricle is smooth, while the glume beak length is long. 

Tamaroi is 5cm taller than Yallaroi. It flowers 2 days earlier 

than Yallaroi (Tamworth), and matures 2 days earlier than 

Yallaroi (Tamworth). The grain is elongated and very hard, 

and has a bright amber colour. 


Seedling and adult plant tests with stem rust (Puccinia 

graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.), leaf rust 

(Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici), and stripe 

rust (Puccinia striiformis West.) indicate that Tamaroi has 

adequate resistance to all Australian field pathotypes of these 

rusts. Tamaroi has consistently exhibited intermediate 

resistance to yellow leaf spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis 

(Died). Drechs) equivalent to Yallaroi. This level of 

resistance will provide modest adult plant field protection. 

The level of resistance carried by Tamaroi to black point 

(mainly incited by Alternaria alternata (Fr). Keissler) is 

similar to Yallaroi, and should provide sufficient protection 

to prevent significant downgrading of grain following 

extended wet post-anthesis periods. Tamaroi displays 

resistance to stinking bunt Tilletia caries (DG) Tul.), flag 

smut (Urocystis agropyri (Preuss) Schroet.), common rot 

root (Bipolaris soronkiniana (Sacc. in Sorok.) Shoem.), 

moderate resistance to Septoria tritici blotch 

(Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) Schroeter) and cereal 

cyst nematode (Heterodera avenae Woll.), but is susceptible 

to crown rot (Fusarium graminearum (Group 1)). 

Yield 

Tamaroi has been tested in 46 trials conducted by NSW 

Agriculture and the Waite Institute during 1993-96. On 

average, in Waite Institute trials Tamaroi yielded 15% 

greater than Yallaroi, but 14% less than Spear. On average, 

in northern NSW, Tamaroi yield 2%, 5% and 6% greater 

than Yallaroi, Wollaroi and Kamilaroi, respectively. 

Quality 

Tamaroi has consistently produced grain of higher protein 

content than the check cultivars, Wollaroi and Yallaroi, 

without loss of grain yield in South Australia. Semolina 

protein values increased similarly. Farinograph dough 

strength (dough development time and breakdown after 10 

min) was greater than Yallaroi. The Farinograph water 

absorption was lower than Yallaroi but greater than 

Wollaroi. Texture analysis of pasta indicated that Tamaroi 

had a firmness greater than Yallaroi. In South Australia, the 

grain of Tamaroi had a test weight similar to Yallaroi while 

the thousand kernel weight was generally greater than that 

of Yallaroi. Grain hardness was usually greater than 

Yallaroi, which translated into a higher semolina mill yield. 

Semolina colour (lutein group pigments) and browning 

reaction were equivalent or slightly inferior to that of 

Yallaroi. The San Remo Macaroni Company believes 

Tamaroi will make pasta products of satisfactory quality. 

Tamaroi will offer the South Australian durum wheat 

industry a cultivar of superior agronomic performance 

while maintaining the pasta quality and disease resistance 

characteristics of Yallaroi.

ADVERTISE YOUR NEW VARIETY 

OR SERVICES 

IN THE 


Journal 

ACasual 

Plant Breeders and their agents are invited to take this opportunity to promote their new 

plant varieties by advertising in the Plant Varieties Journal. Consultant Qualified Persons 

are also invited to advertise their services. The Journal is well circulated throughout the 

horticultural and agricultural industry. Advertising in the Journal will promote the 

commercialisation of new plant varieties and the services offered by the qualified persons. Our 

policy is to promote the varieties which are currently in the PBR scheme and the services of 

those who are currently accredited by the PBR office. 

The Journal also has a Service Directory. This Directory is suitable for advertising the services 

provided by Consultant Qualified Persons, Agents, Patent Attorneys, CTC sites or 

photographers. 

Advertising is available at a casual space rate as well as a four times rate, attracting a 

considerable discount of 25%! Advertisements will be published on the back cover or inside 

front and back covers. The front cover is restricted to full colour photographs of a PBR variety.
