For years, a hodgepodge network of seed banks has been amassing seed and shoot collections in a haphazard manner. Labs in Mexico banked corn
species. Those in Nigeria banked cassava. Now these scattershot efforts are being urgently consolidated and systematized, in part because of better
technology to preserve plant genes and in part because of the rising alarm about climate change and its impact on world food production.

答案

多年来,很多庞杂的种子库网络一直以随意的方式收集种子和苗芽。例如,墨西哥的实验室收藏玉米种,尼日利亚的实验室收藏木薯种。现在,正对这些分散的努力进行亟需的整合和系统化操作。之所以可以这样做,部分原因是储存植物基因技术的更新,部分原因是气候变化的警钟继续长鸣及其对世界粮食产量的影响。
