Comments on: What Are Seed Gene Banks and How Do They Work? http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/connectingnews/2008/03/07/what-are-seed-gene-banks-and-how-do-they-work/ The NSDL Middle School Portal is hosting this blog to encourage teachers to use current events as teaching opportunities. Every Thursday, MSP staff will link a current news article to related teaching resources that connect specific content standards to that event. Articles may be appropriate for students to read directly, or they may serve as background knowledge for teachers and inspiration for subsequent instructional activities. The related middle level, grades 5-8 content standards of the National Science Education Standards are included as well as ideas for turning the news event into an inquiry-based lesson.

I have been unable to locate such information other than seeds found in the pyramids. Such information would be invaluable. Thanks. George Sir, Would be of interest to relay how seeds can be preserved for long duration as opposed to having to maintain -20 degrees as they do at the Artic Seed Vault. I have been unable to locate such information other than seeds found in the pyramids. Such information would be invaluable.
