Mobilization, conservation and study of cultivated and wild potato genetic resources by S. D. Kiru, E. V. Rogozina

“…The genebanks of potato and other crops have three highly important tasks such as permanent replenishment of collection material, ensuring its preservation by various storage and maintaining methods, including seed and vegetative propagation, its all-round use in basic and applied research, as well as the improvement of the efficiency of agricultural production. Analysis of performance of the above tasks in genebanks and research institutes in most countries concerned with storage, study and use of potato germplasm, shows great results and achievements, both in terms of its biology and its improvement as a food crop. …”
