Description
The Germoplasm Bank of the Botanical Garden of Córdoba is dedicated to the conservation of the Spanish Genetic Patrimony and in special way of the Andalusian one. Expeditions are made to collect seeds of different plants in their natural habitats. The collected material is treated in laboratories. Firstly, it is necessary to clean the material, after it dries up with silica gel and later it is encapsulates in tight recipients. The conservation is carried out in refrigerating cameras at -5ºC the exchange collection and at -15ºC the general collection. The seeds are exchanged free of costs from all over the world with eight hundred institutions through the Catalog of Seeds that is annually published. The Department of Environment (Junta of Andalusia) cofinances this activity from 1988, conferring to this collection the status of Bank of Andalusian Germ-plasm.Overall information
