The need to explore various practical and biological aspects of managing an in vitro genebank was identified by the IBPGR Advisory Committee on in vitro storage. In vitro techniques were recognized to hold great promise for the genetic conservation of problem crops that could not be stored as see...

Establishment and operation of a pilot in vitro active genebank: Report of a CIAT-IBPGR collaborative project using cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a model
In 1995 the SGRP commissioned an External Review of the CGIAR Centre Genebank Operations. This review was conducted by a panel and involved 20 experts from national and regional genetic resources programmes, including the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The purpose of this...

Report of the internally commissioned external review of the CGIAR genebank operations
This report examines the problem and reviews the mid-1987 status of some major crops. It looks at the scope available for improvement, for example in in vitro transfer of germplasm and improved indexing, and makes recommendations for future action. Also included are eight reports outlining the st...

Conservation and movement of vegetatively propagated germplasm: In Vitro culture and disease aspects: Advisory committee on In Vitro storage: Report of a subcommittee meeting
The regeneration of germplasm resources is an integral part of the conservation programme. This study is directed towards the strategy and tactics of seed regeneration and multiplication by sexual reproduction in relation to problems of maintaining the genetic constitution of the original sampled...

Status report on the development and application of in vitro techniques for the conservation and use of plant genetic resources
IBPGR commissioned this report to examine the implications of free radical activity for the safe conservation of plant genetic resources. This report evaluates the role of free radical damage in plant germplasm stored either as a seed or as in vitro (tissue culture) systems under cryopreservation...
