Seed gene banks are technical facilities where plant genetic resources (PGR) are conserved ex situ, outside their natural habitats. These facilities store seeds after drying them to low moisture levels and keeping them at low temperatures for long-term preservation without losing viability. Plant genetic resources serve as a vital source for ensuring food and nutrition security, enhancing the resilience of agricultural production systems, and adapting to future environmental conditions such as c
