dc.descriptionIn this opinion paper, the authors describe the principles of the decentralized European virtual genebank (AEGIS) and analyze the reasons for its lack of success and why the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR) has not been able to improve this situation so far significantly. Possible changes for making AEGIS a success, or at least steps in the right direction, are proposed. These changes center around the creation of a system of certified genebanks with proper quality management, guaranteeing the long-term conservation of, and immediate access to the plant genetic resources conserved in it.
