These banks aim to (1) conserve diversity efficiently, including and especially rare alleles and genotypes; (2) ensure efficient use of collection by delivering appropriately selected subsets of germplasm to users, maximizing the chance of giving users the set of alleles or genotypes that they need; and (3) ensure that the entire collection remains available for use. The SGRP exists to ensure a consistent, integrated, system-wide approach to the efficient achievement of these goals.} }
