Table 2.

Performance targets adopted by CGIAR genebanks in 2014.

Key Performance Indicators and Targets
No. Area Indicator Target
1 Germplasm availability % of collection clean of pathogens of quarantine risk, viable, and in sufficient quantity to be immediately available for international distribution from medium-term storage (or local distribution for some tree species). 90% of accessions available
2 Safety duplication For seed crops: % of collection in long-term storage at two locations and also in Svalbard Global Seed Vault (except for tree species).
For clonal crops: % of collection in long-term storage or in vitro in slow growth conditions or in cryopreservation at two locations.
90% of seed accessions safety duplicated
50% of clonal accessions in cryopreservation (intermediate target),
90% of accessions duplicated in vitro
3 Data completeness and availability Passport Data Completeness Index (PDCI) [29]: quantification of the completeness of the passport data based on the absence or presence of data points (range 0–10) PDCI > 6
4 Quality management Implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS) Eight minimum elements of QMS in place (see QMS section below)
