Plant
DNA Bank in Korea (PDBK) |
This site contains genomic DNA list, tissue list, and their voucher
information (label, specimen, and photo) wich holded in PDBK and Korea
University Herbarium (KUS) both located in the Graduate School of
Biotechnology, Korea University, Seoul, Korea. |
|
Royal Botanic Gardens Kew DNA Bank |
The RBG Kew DNA Bank contains over 22,000 samples of plant genomic DNA,
all stored at -80°C. DNA is extracted from particular taxa of interest
that are then databased with information on names, collectors,
localities etc. Each sample is vouchered (made into a herbarium
specimen). |

The
Australian Plant DNA Bank |
The Australian Plant DNA Bank is a comprehensive collection of DNA from
both Australian native and important crop plant species. It also
contains transgenic organisms developed through research. |
|
DNA Banking at the Missouri Botanical Garden |
Garden botanists have begun collecting small samples of plant material,
usually young leaves, in plastic, zip-lock bags with silica gel as a
dessicant. Voucher specimens for these samples are deposited at the
Missouri Botanical Garden and at least one institution in the country
from which they originated. Upon arrival at the Garden, a specimen label
is prepared for each sample and they are stored in a cabinet in a
walk-in freezer maintained at 0° F (-20° C). |
|
DNA Bank Brazilian Flora Species |
The Bank aims to preserve representative genetic information of the high
diversity presented by Brazilian flora, being groundwork for plant
conservation and biotechnology. The DNA Bank will be another Rio de
Janeiro Botanical Garden scientific collection that can be used in
research by current and future generations. |
|
DNA Bank at Kirstenbosch |
The Leslie Hill Molecular Systematics Laboratory at Kirstenbosch, in
collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, have received funding
from the UK Darwin Initiative to establish a 'DNA bank' that will house
genetic material of South African plants. |
|
NIAS
DNA Bank |
Currently, the DNA Bank is maintaining DNA materials and information
that has been accumulated as part of the genome projects of the Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries such as the Rice Genome Research
Program (RGP) and the Animal Genome Research Program (AGP). The
biological materials available for distribution include cDNA clones,
RFLP markers, PAC/BAC clones and YAC filters.

Riken Bioresource Center DNA Bank |
The Gene Engineering Division (RIKEN DNA Bank) is a
unique, not-for-profit resource center dedicated to the isolation,
collection, preservation and distribution of genetic resources, such as
cloned DNA and gene libraries (cDNA and genome libraries) from human and
other mammalian cells and from microorganisms (vectors and hosts). The
RIKEN DNA Bank undertakes research to ensure the authenticity of the
materials in the collection and to improve and standardize the methods
of characterization, maintenance, preservation and distribution of
genetic resources. |
