The first certificates of
protection to breeders of new
varieties of plants reproduced
through seeds were awarded
recently by Commissioner
Stanley F. Rollin, of the Plant
Variety Protection Office in the
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Each certificate grants to the
breeder for 17 years the right to
exdude others from selling the
variety, or offering it for sale,
reproducing it, importing it, or
using it in producing a hybrid or
a different variety.
In awarding the certificates,
Commissioner Rollin closed a 40-

been made for protection, in
volving 56 species of plants. The
largest numbers of applications
are for soybeans, wheat, cotton,
beans, peas, and asters. USDA
plant variety examiners are
currently concentrating on these
applications to determine
whether the varieties are distinct
and meet requirements for
protection.

protection under the Act may be

have had protection through
patents issued by theU.S.
Patent Office. Now, under the
Plant Variety Protection Act,
breeders of plants which
reproduce through seeds can
receive similar protection.
“With this new protection,”
Mr. Rollin said, “we can now
expect an increase on the
American scene of new varieties
of grain, oilseed, fiber, forage,
vegetable, and ornamental crops
which reproduce through seeds.”
“As well as being unique, the
new varieties could be more
productive, more heat and
drought resistant, longer lasting
after harvest, and better
designed for shipping. Also, there
is potential for new varieties that
are naturally more resistant to
disease and insects,” Mr. Rollin
said.
The certificates covering six
new varieties of lettuce were
awarded to: Asgrow Seed Co.,
Kalamazoo, Mich., for Great
Lakes 649-700; W. Atlee Burpee
