    Introduction
 
A core collection is a subsample of a larger germ plasm collection that contains, with a minimum of repetitiveness, the maximum possible genetic diversity of the species in question (Frankel 1984; Frankel and Brown 1984). Brown (1989a) argued that before creating the core collection, the larger collection should first be hierarchically stratified into groups of accessions that share common characters or that originate from similar ecological and geographic regions. Such a stratification could be based on passport data, knowledge of the structure of the gene pool, or both. Accessions are then drawn from each group. Several sampling strategies are used to determine how to allocate sampling effort across groups (Brown 1989b). In the absence of detailed genetic data about the individuals within the groups, all groups can be represented evenly, or in proportion to their group size, or in . . . [Full Text of this Article]
