The protection of Canada’s biodiversity is one of our greatest opportunities as a nation. Canada’s Gene Bank, officially known as Plant Gene Resources Canada (PGRC) is based in Saskatoon. Its goal is to conserve and protect germplasm while allowing it to be used by plant breeders in Canada and globally. Other collections are scattered across the country but PGRC is the central repository for over 110,000 seed samples which include world base collections of barley and oats. The collection of native plant material is a work in progress. Holding rare and threatened Canadian plants protects them from extinction.
