Genetic preservation refers to the methods used to maintain and protect the genetic material of various organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. This process is crucial for biodiversity conservation, agriculture, and research, as it helps ensure that valuable genetic traits are not lost over time. Techniques such as cryopreservation, where cells or tissues are frozen at very low temperatures, are commonly used to store genetic material for future use. In addition to cryopreservation, genetic preservation can involve seed banks, like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which store seeds from diverse plant species. These efforts help safeguard against extinction and support breeding programs aimed at improving crop resilience and adaptability. By preserving genetic diversity, we can better respond to challenges such as climate change and disease outbreaks.
