Abstract: During millenniums, access to and use of plant genetic resources have been free, or almost free. From the first half of the 20th century onwards, the protection of commercial benefits of new plant breeders through certain specific titles of protection maintained the right for anyone to use a plant variety in order to create a new one. But, for about fifteen years, more and more patents have been prohibiting, for a certain time and in some countries, access to some genetic resources. That has economic, political, ethical and scientific implications.
