Highlights
Genebanks worldwide conserve plant genetic resources with the purpose of making them available for improving food and nutritional security through research, plant breeding, and education
Well-dried, vacuumpacked seeds of so-called orthodox species can stay viable at low temperatures for very long predictable periods of time
For many crops, seed storage is the optimal method for long-term ex situ conservation of genetic diversity in genebanks
Summary
Genebanks worldwide conserve plant genetic resources with the purpose of making them available for improving food and nutritional security through research, plant breeding, and education. For many crops, seed storage is the optimal method for long-term ex situ conservation of genetic diversity in genebanks. As an extra security measure for the conservation of valuable resources, international guidelines recommend safety duplication of genebank collections.
