The ability to discriminate between cultivars of crops is fundamental to the operation of the modern seed trade. ISTA has a long history of interest and involvement in cultivar verification/identification and through the activities of the Variety Committee has promoted the development and use of new techniques for this purpose. This paper considers some of the modern methods that are being applied to cultivar verification, namely the use of computerised image analysis systems, the use of gel electrophoresis methods to analyse proteins and enzymes, and various DNA profiling techniques. In addition, the advent of genetically modified crops will pose novel problems for seed testers, and different approaches to this challenge are discussed.
