A germplasm bank is a repository for the conservation and storage of crop varieties and other types of genetic material. It is used to preserve genetic diversity and provide a secure backup of plant varieties that are important to food production and global agricultural security. Germplasm banks can also be used to store animal genetic material, such as semen and eggs. In addition to conservation, germplasm banks are also a source of germplasm for research and breeding programs.
