Work on the genetic resources of small grains (their collection, classification, evaluation and conservation) intensified in the sixties, when the problem of permanent genetic erosion was for the first time seriously addressed. In Yugoslavia, academician dr Ljubo Pavicevic spend the period from the late fifties up until the early eighties collecting landraces of diploid and tetraploid wheats in Montenegro (Yugoslavia). He managed to collect more than 150 accessions, which are today kept at the Agricultural Institute in Podgorica, Montenegro (Yugoslavia). Furthermore, the Small Grains Centre from Kragujevac, Serbia (Yugoslavia) and the Agricultural Institute from Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina (former Yugoslav republic) have collected hundreds of accessions of mostly hexaploid wheat on their expeditions in southern and eastern Serbia (Yugoslavia), the province of Kosovo (Serbia, Yugoslavia), and the former Yugoslav republics of Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, numerous gene banks around the world maintain ex situ a total of more than 1,500,000 small grains accessions. In Yugoslavia, seven institutions currently maintain 4,495 wheat, 958 barley, 173 oat, 125 triticale, 23 rye accessions.
