GENETIC RESOURCES OF THE WGRC
This list below contains items maintained or available from the WGRC gene bank.
PLEASE NOTE: A fee of $15 USD/accession will be assessed for most seed requests. Please note this amount when requesting seed. An additional fee of $25 to $50 will be assessed for requests requiring shipment by Federal Express. The typical amount of seed sent will vary from 10 for genetic stocks to 50 for wild species accessions. Requests for larger amounts of seed, when available, will be charged as follows: 100-300 seed $30/accession and >500 seed $50/accession.
