Germplasm Releases:

Wisconsin Open Source Composite (WI-OSC) collection: ‘WI-OSC Nantes’, ‘WI-OSC Danvers’, ‘WI-OSC Chantenay’, ‘WI-OSC Ball’, ‘WI-OSC Yellow’, ‘WI-OSC White’, ‘WI-OSC Red’, and ‘WI-OSC Purple’.

Released in 2015

The breeding goal of these eight populations was to take commercially available cultivars that had freedom to operate for breeding and create diverse carrot populations based on market class and root color. In order to ensure that the diversity present in these populations will remain available for use in breeding and seed production into the future, the WI-OSC populations are being released by the University of Wisconsin-Madison carrot breeding program under the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI) Pledge, a mechanism developed by OSSI in 2014 to enhance plant breeder’s freedom to operate and farmers and gardeners ability to save and share seed. The OSSI Pledge states: “You have the freedom to use these OSSI-Pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, you pledge not to restrict others’ use of these seeds or their derivatives by patents, licenses or other means, and to include this pledge with any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives (www.osseeds.org).”
