Network Publications
The WANA Seed Network continues to implement its primary function: the exchange of information through various technical and non-technical publications. The WANA Variety Catalogue has been updated and is being printed. The Catalogue assembles information on crop varieties (and their synonyms) as well as breeders/maintainers of varieties grown in the region. It contains all information provided by Country Representatives of the WANA Seed Network up to 31 December 2003. The DPVCTRF, Morocco and the Seed Unit at ICARDA made the final preparation and editing of the publication. The catalogue is also updated on the ICARDA Seed Unit website. For more information or access to some of the network publications, please visit the website at http://www.icarda.cgiar.org/seed_unit/SeedUnit/home.htm.
