He shows that scientists were right, and genetic changes are occurring, but nevertheless, the seeds remain useful. Knowing this is happening gives seedbanks the opportunity to try changing practices to reduce the effects of mutation.

Frontiers | Will a plant germplasm accession conserved in a genebank change genetically over time?

The simplified question on the genetic change of a conserved plant germplasm accession over time is raised for a better understanding of the challenging miss...
