õite ja seemneteta, eoste abil paljunevad taimed (vetikad, samblikud, sammal- ja sõnajalgtaimed); varem arvati eostaimede hulka ka bakterid ja seened. Eostaimed hõlmavad nii üherakulisi taimi, paljurakulisi rakistaimi kui ka juurteks, varteks ja lehtedeks liigestunud tüvendtaimi.
This programme concerns the conservation, characterization, evaluation, collection and utilization of genetic resources, plant and animal, which currently occur within the territory of the Community and which are likely to be lost if special measures are not taken. Eligible organisms are plants (seed and certain spore-bearing plants), animals (vertebrates and certain invertebrates) and micro-organisms.
