Name Barcelona Botanical Garden Seed Collection
Cite as BGJBB
Description The collection of the Barcelona Botanical Garden Seed Bank consists of genetic material, mainly in the form of seeds, conserved at specific temperatures and humidities, that can be used over long periods of time. The bank enables species to be preserved in a dormant state so that they can be germinated whenever fresh material is needed, whether for new research or for obtaining new plants to be reintroduced into their natural habitats or for use as garden plants.
