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.

Thanks. George

dear sir/madam,

found very useful.after introduction of Genetically modified crops by MNCs. now it is very important to educated the community on setting uo community seed banks so the seed should be in the contol of the community rather than seed companies.

thanks
