This course has been organized by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT.

Whether you work in a national agricultural research organization, an international agricultural research center, or a non-governmental organization engaged in the conservation of crop diversity, the course is designed to help you conserve seeds under your care to the highest standards.

The course will deepen your understanding of the underlying biology of seed development and germination. You will learn the latest scientific discoveries in this area, and how the biological principles these scientists have revealed can be harnessed to improve the longevity and viability of seeds in storage.
