Since 1958, we have been storing, maintaining, monitoring and distributing hundreds of thousands of samples trusted to us for the long term backup portion of the National Plant Germplasm System.Ĭome and see how we handle and store the valuable materials when they arrive. We evaluate the initial seed quality, store samples in cold or cryogenic vaults and monitor the quality of stored seeds.
Our technicians and specialists work with the database that handles all the information accompanying each sample. NCGRP receives samples from a wide range of institutions, companies and governments around the world. Seed storage at NCGRP is much more than placing bags of seeds in a vault.
