Page scope

Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research is about the plant research institute at Gatersleben and its gene bank: how the institute came to Gatersleben, how the gene bank keeps and regrows seed, the cannabis it holds and the terms on which it supplies material. Herbarium specimens of the institute that have their own accession pages are listed at the foot of the article.

Sourcing

The history, the sites and the terms of supply come from the institute's own pages and from the account of the gene bank by Stephan Weise and colleagues (2025). The cannabis accessions come from the entries the gene bank registers in the FAO's Global Information System (GLIS), as it stood on 6 November 2026, and from the Genesys and GBIF entries for single accessions. Discuss sourcing and any figure that has changed here.

Counts

GLIS lists the 56 cannabis accessions under two holder names: 55 under the gene bank's full name and one under "IPK". The study by Guillermo Padilla-González and colleagues (2023) lists 51 accessions from the gene bank, CAN 16 to CAN 70. The institute's pages give the whole collection as 151,775 accessions without a date; Weise and colleagues (2025) give almost 152,000.

Place names

The institute's chronology gives the founding estate as Tuttendorf; its overview and the 2025 paper give Tuttenhof. The local names of the Romanian accessions are given as the passport data spell them (cinepa, cunepa, conopla).

CAN 22

CAN 22, collected near Shatili in Georgia, is also G 33598 in the National Plant Germplasm System of the United States, which gives the same origin.
