The tour of the PGRC facility, led by Dr. Yong-Bi Fu, will provide a brief history of Canadian germplasm conservation efforts, a visit to the secure Canadian seed bank storage vaults, a first-hand view of the breadth of diversity within the collection, and more importantly, an appreciation of Canadian agricultural biodiversity.
