Chapter synopsis: Germplasm is important in maintaining genetic resources for plants because it encompasses living genetic resources that new plants can be grown from. Nursery (field) storage, pollen storage, seed collections, and in vitro storage are ways plant germplasm can be stored, and constitute what is called a germplasm bank. Such germplasm banks are maintained so that they can represent unique plants specific to a region, wild relatives of different plants, and the genetic diversity of plants. Germplasm banks are an important diversity conservation strategy. Common species, as well as rare, threatened, and endangered species are made available by such germplasm banks, for habitat restoration projects, and research. This chapter discusses collecting, conserving, and utilizing ornamental germplasm such as roses and cacti as the examples to capitalize the genetic diversity.
