Popis:	The National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, evaluation, and distribution of genetic diversity of crop plants important to U.S. agriculture. The NPGS collections currently include more than 425,000 accessions representing more than 8000 species. The curators of the individual active collections face many challenges, including preserving the maximum amount of genetic diversity in active collections, encouraging the use of the germplasm in the collections, and operating with limited resources. During the past 5 years, the NPGS curators and the 40 Germplasm Committees have been evaluating how core subsets can help in meeting these challenges. A set of general guidelines and procedures for developing core subsets has been developed.
