The German Federal Gene Bank at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben comprises ca. 148 000 accessions of crop plants and their wild relatives. Among these, material from Albania and Greece is represented with ca. 1100 and more than 2700 accessions, respectively. IPK’s collection of Albanian germplasm is the world’s largest collection, while IPK’s Greek germplasm collection is the third largest holding of Greek crops and their wild relatives. The largest part of this material (ca. 200 and 1600 accessions from Albania and Greece, respectively) originates from two collecting expeditions carried out by Hans Stubbe, the founder of the Institute for Cultivated Plant Research, and other German collectors during the Second World War, in 1941 (ca. 700 accessions) and 1942 (ca. 1100 accessions). Stubbe’s expeditions are described with respect to the regions visited, species collected, plus a comparison between the original collections and their present state in the IPK Gene Bank is provided. A formal scientific report about the results of these expeditions had never been published before. The material from these expeditions can be freely requested from the IPK Gene Bank, after signing a Material Transfer Agreement.

Efffect of Crop Plant Species on the Efficacy of Pheromone Traps for Monitoring of the Turnip Moth (Agrotis Segetum[Schiff.]) (Lep., Noctuidae)Common cutworm (Turnip moth) (Agrotis segetum), a serious polyphagous pest of many agricultural and horticultural crops, attacks a wide range of plant species in their various growth stages. The larvae are nocturnal in habits, spending the day hiding in the litter or in the soil and their presence is often only notice by farmers when the damage already occurred. Therefore development of an effective monitoring of the adults migration into a crop may help in controlling the pest. The pheromone traps are presently considered as the most effective monitoring system ofA. segetummoth. Optimization of pheromone traps location will reduce cost of purchasing traps and labour and at the same time assuring collection of reliable information onA. segetummigration. The "on - farm research" with active participation of farmer in planning and execution of the project was carried out in the two growing seasons: 2005 and 2006 on 10 crop fields and natural vegetation of various ecological infrastructures of a selected representative farm in Piaski village, near Warsaw. A Delta type traps were used for monitoring. The relations between the dynamics of trapping month and density of traps per chosen area and characteristics of agrocenosis (type of crop and uncultivated land, drainage ditches, river embankment, etc.) were established. The collected data may be used in improving the present methods of short- and longterm forecasting ofA. segetumpopulation dynamics and optimize the pest chemical control.
