In 1986, the National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Tropical
Fruit and Nut Crops was initiated as a joint cooperative project
between the USDA/ARS, National Plant Germplasm System and the
University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, College of Tropical Agriculture and
Human Resources (CTAHR). The unit was federalized in 1989 and became
part of the National Plant Germplasm System.
The USDA, ARS,
Tropical Plant Genetic Resources and Disease Research (TPGRDR) unit at
the Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center (PBARC), Hilo, HI
distributes small quantities of tropical fruit and nut crop germplasm
to scientists for research, education and crop development in
universities and research centers.
Mission: To conduct research
to enhance agricultural sustainability and crop resistance to pests and
disease by developing new technologies that integrate classical and
molecular approaches, to use multi-disciplines approaches to provide
innovative technologies, protocols, and fact based support to
environmental sound, economical beneficial end-products. 1
