<p class="MsoNormal">Following are some important details regarding the status of the pennycress (<i>Thlaspi arvense</i>) seed collection efforts:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Markéta Machová (iNaturalist donor/collector) in the Czech Republic successfully sent to NASC
<span style="background:lime;mso-highlight:lime">63</span> seed packets collected throughout Europe (seed list attached).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Dan Wrench (iNaturalist donor/collector) in the United Kingdom recently sent at least
<span style="background:lime;mso-highlight:lime">7</span> collected samples to NASC (seed list attached).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Unfortunately, the <span style="background:lime;mso-highlight:lime">
29</span> samples assembled by Alexander Wirth (iNaturalist donor/collector) from throughout Germany are stuck in a DHL warehouse in Germany because of COVID lockdown. DHL has provided no guidance as to when (or even if!) they will be delivered to NASC (seed
list attached none the less).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Maliheh Esfahanian (PhD student in my lab) has aliquoted seeds collected from over
<span style="background:lime;mso-highlight:lime">260</span> sites in the United States and Canada (Julia Proulx is the iNaturalist Canadian samples donor/collector) (see attached Sedbrook list).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Emma</span>, would it be okay for us to put in the mail to you on Monday these seed packets, with you keeping one set for the ABRC collection and you sending the other set to NASC?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Marcos</span>, are packages being delivered to you now, or is there delivery uncertainty because of COVID and Brexit? If there is risk of the seeds getting stuck in limbo, perhaps ABRC
should wait to send you the seeds.<o:p></o:p></p>

collected, and collector’s name). NASC will keep aliquots for their curation and mail aliquots to the ABRC for their curation. The ABRC will forward to me aliquots of 100 seeds each population (or whatever can be spared in cases where seed numbers are limiting).
I will grow up one plant from each aliquot and prep genomic DNA for JGI sequencing. Seeds from these plants will be sent to ABRC who will in turn send aliquots to NASC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

hope we will eventually get ahold of our professor contact there who will in turn connect us with his botanical garden contact who can help get official permission to send the seeds to NASC, ABRC, or me.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding Nagoya, a complication with<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Thlaspi arvense</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>is that, while it is catching on as a model system for a variety of molecular and ecological

<p class="MsoNormal">Most of the germplasm we are looking to have curated were either collected by us or by “citizen scientists” who we contacted through iNaturalist. In total, there are over 500 natural populations collected from the following countries: United
States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, France, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Hungary, Russia, and South Korea. Seeds collected this year by citizen scientists throughout Europe are being held by a few people in the
U.K., Germany, Czech Republic, and Russia until we figure out what if any Nagoya protocol paper work should be filled out. I have obtained the proper USDA APHIS permit to import the seeds from the above-listed countries. In a perfect world, aliquots of seeds
would be split between NASC, ABRC, and here at Illinois State University.<o:p></o:p></p>

arabidopsis would be subject to Nagoya based on the sequences.<o:p></o:p></p>
