The MCPD, developed jointly by Bioversity International (formerly IPGRI) and FAO, is a widely used international standard to facilitate germplasm passport information exchange. These descriptors are compatible with Bioversity’s crop descriptor lists, with the descriptors used by the FAO World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) on plant genetic resources (PGR), and with the GENESYS global portal. This list of Multi-crop Passport Descriptors (MCPD V.2.1) is an update to MCPD V.2 which was released in 2012.
