Potato Seed Deposited in Svalbard Seed Bank

Filed under: potato — Tags: — TopVeg @ 3:42 pm

Potato seed has been deposited in the Svalbard Global Seed Bank – not
the immature tubers planted by vegetable gardeners, but true seed
produced by potato flowers.

When The Svalbard Global Seed Bank was opened  at the end of February, Jim Godfrey, Chair of the International Potato Centre, was present.

Click on the image to enlarge the photo, which shows Jim carrying true
seed potatoes into the vault, from the International Potato Centre in Lima.
