%X The SGRP is a consortium of all CGIAR gene banks. 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.
