The 52.000 accessions now in storage include only 932 lots of seed which fall into this category. These are: 310 barley lines. 112 tomato mutants. 110 red pericarp lines of corn. and 400 radiation-induced mutants of oats. In the near future we should receive for storage 150 translocation stocks of barley. These total only a small fraction of such materials held at various locations throughout the contry.  astorage  aSemente  aArmazenagem  aMelhoramento genetico  aSede  aSeed  tBioscience. p.333-336. 1967.
