Abstract
The overall objective is to develop a scientifically based framework for the determination of any changes in genetic diversity over time in the four most widely grown agricultural crops - wheat, barley, maize and potato. Any enlargement of the genetic base or genetic erosion that may have occurred over the past 60 years in these crops will be determined and evaluated. The effects, if any, of the variety delivery systems in existing Member States on the changes in diversity will be assessed. In this way, any risk to the genetic base of the major crops in European agriculture will become evident.
