Q. Which is the best method of germplasm conservation?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Biodiversity and Conservation

Solution:

Germplasm conservation is the storage of seed, gene, or cells and it is stored in seed banks. The viability of seeds remains for hundreds and even thousands of years. Hence, the best method under ex situ conservation strategies is the seed bank method with which the loss of genetic diversity of rare or imperiled plant species can be avoided.
