The Asia, the Pacific, and Oceania Newsletter is produced thrice a year and is mainly aimed at promoting the overall concern on plant genetic resources, with emphasis on their conservation and use.It provides information on plant genetic resources activities carried out by national programmes and other centres in the region. Information is also periodically abstracted from recent literature (books, periodicals, etc.), and brief research contributions published. With over 2500 addressees on its mailing list, the APO newsletter is widely distributed to focus on IPGRI's mandate to advance the conservation and use of plant genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
