This figure shows the progress from 2001 to 2011 of the international treaty, which, as mentioned in the introduction of this chapter, is the creation of a multilaterally governed gene pool of more than 1 million accessions of plant genetic material and which constitutes a commons for biological materials. It shows the absolute ratifications, CGIAR SMTAs (/100), NatReg Implement Measures by CPs, Capacity Building Requests, and Inclusions of PGRFA by DC CPs in MLS.
