PlantBank Records

Records of Plantbank, a secure seed repository and research facility for Australian plant species. Located at the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan, NSW, PlantBank is a secure seed repository and research facility for Australian plant species. There are currently almost 10,000 seed collections held from across Australia, representing over 4500 species. The primary focus of the seed collections is NSW species, which support living collection development across the RBG sites, as well as seed for research projects and restoration of native plant communities. The current seed program and collections were established in the mid 1980's and include major collections of Eucalyptus, Acacia, Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Proteaceae and Asteraceae. PlantBank actively contributes to recovery actions for threatened species, and is the leading facility for the ex situ conservation of NSW threatened species. Current areas of seed research include: - Rainforest seed biology and storage - Terrestrial orchids - Seed dormancy - Restoration ecology澳大利亚植物银行（Plantbank）馆藏记录：该机构是面向澳大利亚本土植物物种的安全种子库与研究设施，坐落于新南威尔士州（NSW）安山山澳大利亚植物园内。目前该库馆藏覆盖全澳范围内的近10000份种子采集样本，涵盖超过4500个植物物种。该种子馆藏的核心聚焦对象为新南威尔士州本土物种，其采集所得种子可用于新南威尔士皇家植物园（Royal Botanic Gardens, RBG）各园区的活体植物馆藏培育、各类研究项目，以及本土植物群落的修复工作。当前的种子保藏项目与馆藏体系始建于20世纪80年代中期，馆藏包含桉属（Eucalyptus）、金合欢属（Acacia）、豆科（Fabaceae）、桃金娘科（Myrtaceae）、山龙眼科（Proteaceae）以及菊科（Asteraceae）等类群的大量采集样本。澳大利亚植物银行积极参与濒危物种的拯救恢复行动，是新南威尔士州濒危物种迁地保护的领先机构。当前种子研究方向包括： - 雨林种子生物学与贮藏技术 - 陆生兰科植物研究 - 种子休眠 - 恢复生态学
