1974年当国际植物遗传资源委员会(简称IBPGR)成立时,世界上仅有几个保存植物遗传资源的种质库。至今,已发展到近500座中长期种质库。但是各个种质库之间的贮藏条件和管理存在着相当大的差别,有些很明显需要改善。由于缺乏国际性的种质库标准,各种质库很难从本国政府那里得到资金来改善条件。因此,1984年IBPGR贮藏顾问委员会制定了种质库设计和贮藏标准。他们认为:制定标准的目的在于提供种质库建设的准则,为已建成种质库提供改进的依据,以确保宝贵种质资源和管理人员的安全,以及改进种质数据资料的应用,加速种质资源的利用。近年来 When the International Commission on Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR) was established in 1974, there were only a few genebanks that conserved plant genetic resources in the world. So far, nearly 500 medium and long-term genebanks have been developed. However, there are considerable differences in storage conditions and management among the genebanks, and some of them obviously need to be improved. Due to the lack of international standards for genebanks, it is difficult for various libraries to obtain funds from their own governments to improve conditions. Therefore, in 1984 the IBPGR Storage Advisory Committee developed a set of standards for the design and storage of genebanks. They argue that the purpose of standards development is to provide guidelines for the construction of genebanks and to provide improved bases for established genebanks to ensure the safety of valuable germplasm and managerial staff and to improve the use of germplasm data, The use of quality resources.
