9. Permission to Deposit Under the Nagoya Protocol:
The Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-Sharing is an international treaty adopted under the auspices of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Nagoya, Japan on 29 October 2010. The purpose of the protocol is the fair and equitable sharing of benefitsarising from the utilization of genetic resources, thereby contributingto the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The Nagoya Protocol, which entered into force on October 12, 2014, restricts transport and distribution of biological resources from signatory countries. If your strain was collected from a country that is party to the Nagoya Protocol (see please complete the information below.
Did you receive prior consent to collect the material (yes or no)?
