Genebank management I&II:

Seed storage, data management  and genebank tour

by Dr. M. Nagel; Dr. M. Oppermann GB

Announcement

June 5, 2019 at 2.00 pm.

Seminar room Vavilov house

Open to all interested colleagues,

The workshop will give an overview of international genebanks for crops and focus on the ‘German Federal ex situ Genebank for Agricultural and Horticultural Crops’ in Gatersleben (http://www.ipk-gatersleben.de/en/gbisipk-gaterslebendegbis-i/). Seedbank workflows will be deduced from basic principles of seed maintenance and characterization approaches. In combination with a tour through the cold storage facilities, the workshop will reveal new perspectives on the world heritages of ‘Plant Genetic Resources’.

Genebank management III:

Maintenance of plant genetic resources at the IPK – regeneration activities at the experimental fields (Guided field tour)

by Dr. A. Börner; GB/RGR and Mr. P. Schreiber VZD/ VuG

Announcement

June 6, 2019 Meeting point: Genome center, IPK campus

Open to all interested colleagues,

The maintenance of genebank accessions requires the long term storage as well as its regeneration. Each year between 6 and 8 thousand accessions are grown either in the field or in the glasshouses. The tour will give an overview about the regeneration activities in 2019.
