Vegetable is a very important crop to alleviate the malnutrition, improve livelihoods andenhance maternal health in developing country. Established in 1985, the AVRDC genebank has conserved more than 57,000 accessions including 12,000 accessions of indigenous from 150 countries around the world. The germplsam introduction is accompanied by international cooperation. The passport data consists of accession number, scientific name, core collection, collection area, generation of the regenerated, duplication site, donation number, etc. All introduced germplasms are multiplied or regenerated, which is carried out only during the dry season between the end of October and March with the consideration to produce seeds with the highest quality. A sufficient quantity of high qualified seeds are registered, given five digits numbers with initial of the genus, and stored in base and active collections for long-term and medium-term conservation, respectively. In principle, germplasms are distributed at a cost, but freely to cooperator. Also, the MTA is applied differently for plant genetic resources from breeding lines made by AVRDC.
