Genebank Peer Reviews: A powerful tool to improve genebank quality and promote collaboration
Genetic ResourcesThe conservation of plant genetic resources (PGR) is critical to ensuring global food security and agricultural sustainability. Genebanks play a vital role in ex situ conservation, complementing in situ strategies by preserving crop diversity (incl. their wild relatives) and providing access to biological materials for research, breeding and farming ...

Genebanks at Risk: Hazard Assessment and Risk Management of National and International Genebanks
Plants, 2023 Genebanks are crucial for safeguarding global crop diversity but are themselves exposed to several risks. However, a scientific basis for identifying, assessing, and managing risks is still lacking. Addressing these research gaps, this study provides risk analysis for three key risk groups: natural hazards, political risks, and financial risks, carried
