Description Plant Genetic resources (PGR) are the most important components of biodiversity. PGR
include primitive forms of cultivated plants and landraces, modern cultivars, obsolete
cultivars, breeding lines and genetic stocks, weedy types and related wild species (IPGRI,
1993). Genetic variation must be conserved to combat new pests and diseases, and to
produce better adapted varieties for the changing environments. Seed conservation has vital
role in preservation of genetic variability, as it is simple to handle, cost-effective and
capable of maintaining genetic stability over long time periods. The most important
components of ex situ collections are conservation, characterization and utilization of
conserved germplasm
