Macroalgal germplasm banking for conservation, food security, and industry
PLOS Biology, 2020 Ex situ seed banking was first conceptualized and implemented in the early 20th century to maintain and protect crop lines. Today, ex situ seed banking is important for the preservation of heirloom strains, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration, and diverse research applications.
