What are the implications of differences in variety descriptions arising from different environments?
It is widely accepted that a varietys phenotype will effected by its environment. Accordingly, a variety description may and probably will vary between different locations and years. However if the varietys distinctive characteristics vary substantially when it is regrown in the environment published in its description, legal disputes may arise as to whether access to that apparently different variety is subject to the PBR owners authorisation. Such disputes may be settled in court.
