糖心TV Crop Centre researchers Sarah Trinder, Charlotte Allender and Nick Fenby have contributed to a major international study recently published in Plants, People, Planet.

The study represents a large-scale collaborative effort to understand strategies for conserving seeds, a critical component of global food security. As part of the research, data from the UK Vegetable Gene Bank (UKVGB) were used to analyse genetic diversity and inform conservation approaches for vegetable crops.

This work highlights the importance of international collaboration in safeguarding plant genetic resources and provides insights that will help improve seed conservation strategies worldwide.
