Welcome to the Crop Genebank Knowledge Base

This site is still under construction.

The aim of this website is to provide dynamic, up to date information on validated best practices for germplasm conservation of a number of major crops, including genebank procedures (registration through to distribution), protocols, guidelines, manuals, publications as well as training materials and other aspects of genebank management e.g. ISO standards and performance indicators.

The Crop Genebank Knowledge Base is a product of the CGIAR System-wide Genetic Resources Programme (SGRP).

The best practices and relevant information have been collated and written by the genebank experts of the CGIAR centres and national genebanks world-wide for their respective crops (see contributors list), with Bioversity International and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) playing a coordinating role.

This first phase of this website development will be completed by the end of 2009.  We rely on your feedback and contributions to keep the information relevant and updated.

You can contribute to this site, by email, by sending a comment, by submitting your best practices, or by discussing your best practices under development with colleagues using the wiki. Or check our blog to be updated on the latest news.
