Abstract

For the enablement of structured access for researchers and developers to plant genetic resources and for the containment of biopiracy in the year 2010 the “Nagoya Protocol on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity” (Nagoya Protocol) was adopted. The article shall discuss the main cornerstones in the genesis and implementation of the Nagoya Protocol and highlight the consequences for the plant breeding industry. Problems result especially from the fact, that all material which is used in plant breeding up to the final product is to be regarded as genetic resource.
