Description:

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agriculture Research Service (ARS) National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation (NCGRP) Research Geneticist Leader Dr. David Dierig lifts a thickly insulated plug to a cryogenic storage tank as Colorado State University (CSU) President Dr. Anthony Frank (second from right) and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack try to see through the nitrogen vapor to the seed containers inside at the Cryogenic Storage Vault at USDA's ARS National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation (NCGRP) in Ft. Collins, CO on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013. The vault stores more than 45 cryogenic tanks that hold animal germplasm, plant tissue culture, and seeds that are stored at -196 Â°C (-321 Â°F) in liquid storage or to -193 Â°C (-315 Â°F) in vapor storage. NCGRP is the largest agricultural gene bank facility in the U.S. The NCGRP staff conducts groundbreaking research to develop more efficient and effective means for preserving plant and animal germplasm, and for better understanding the genetic structure of these invaluable materials. The research findings, preservation techniques, and specialized technology developed by the NCGRP have been adopted by gene banks around the world: many international scientists travel to the NCGRP for research and training.
