About this ebook
FAO has developed the "Practical guide for the application of the Genebank Standards for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture: Conservation in field genebanks" to be used as a companion volume to the Genebank Standards for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The action steps of the genebank workflow are presented in a sequential manner and provide guidance on the complex steps and decisions required when operating a field genebank. The accompanying summary charts for the respective action steps underscore the intended use of this practical guide as a handbook for routine genebank operations for the conservation of plants in the field. While this practical guide is particularly useful for genebank technicians for their day-to-day activities, it may also be used as a basis for the development of standard operating procedures and quality management systems. Genebank managers will also find it useful for conducting training exercises.

Practical Guide for the Application of the Genebank Standards for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture - Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Preface
The ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) in genebanks is aimed at safeguarding them for use by current and future generations – both directly by end users and as materials for research and plant breeding. Genebanks, therefore, ultimately contribute to sustainable crop production systems and hence, food security and nutrition. However, genebanks must be managed effectively in order to conserve these resources in optimal conditions and making them available for use.
Genebanks also play a major role in fostering global collaboration on PGRFA through germplasm exchange, including across national boundaries. The Genebank Standards for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Genebank Standards), published in 2014, aimed at the harmonization of genebank operations, i.e. the storage of the accessions, their characterization and evaluation and the documentation of associated data, across genebanks and countries. The Genebank Standards set the benchmark for current scientific and technical best
