USDA, ARS National Plant Germplasm System - Cooperative effort by State, Federal, and other organizations to preserve genetic diversity. - Genetic uniformity increases crop vulnerability to pests and stresses. We must have access to genetic diversity to help bring forth new varieties that can resist biotic and abiotic stresses. -The NPGS serves science and education by: acquiring, preserving, evaluating, documenting, and distributing plant germplasm.
