Scientific and Practical Centre for Arable Farming, NAS of Belarus
N.I. Vavilov, an outstanding Russian scientist, stood at the origins of the national and globe strategies for the conservation, enrichment and rational use of cultivated plant genetic resources and their wild relatives. It was he who for the first time drew attention of the global scientific community to the huge variety of important for breeding genes found in the populations of wild and weed species and in the varieties of folk and professional breeding. The unique biological laws of N.I. Vavilov on the centers
hereditary variability formed a basis for the doctrine about mobilization, conservation, study and use of world plant diversity. Initial material, as defined by the Academician N.I. Vavilov, is a keystone of breeding. Domestic and foreign breedersꞌ experience shows that the initial gene pool of plants provides for more than 50% of success in breeding.

The State Programme “Gene Pool” (Genofond) was developed, as mandated by the President of the Republic of Belarus A.G. Lukashenko (the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus of December 30, 1999 No. 2063), and formed the basis for the mobilization and conservation
Address strategically important challenges in provision of both national food, bioresources and environmental security in the Republic Develop scientific support for the measures aimed to conserve and rationally use domestic and global plant resources Systematize the work on the management and analysis of plant resources Rationally use them in the national economy

The EX SITU collection of plant genetic resources of the Republic of Belarus accounts 76.5 thousand collection samples and includes the following crop/plant categories and their wild relatives:
industrial crops and fodder crops
species
medicinal and spicy-aromatic plants
The Gene Bank allows to concentrate the country’s plant diversity in one place, guarantee the relative security of its conservation, provide opportunities for the targeted study, expand access to plant genetic resources for domestic and foreign scientists. The collection fund of plant resources accounts more than 28 thousand collection samples. It includes 53 collections and combines 702 plant species, active and national base collections (ex situ) and target character and core collections.

Vegetable and Fruit Growing
The collection of fruit, berry and nut crops and grapes of the Institute for Fruit Growing comprises 5328 samples and is among the largest in Europe available collections held by Scientific Institutions. It includes the northernmost in Europe Fund of Walnut and Grape with no analogues by its crop composition. Collection funds are preserved in the live condition. Annually, region and district expeditionary surveys are conducted in the Republic to collect old-local varieties of these collections. Using the gene pool’s data, the breeders developed 73 varieties over the period
study, 64 introduced varieties of fruit and berry crops were handed over to the State Inspectorate for Testing and Protection of Plant Varieties.
Vegetable growing is of special importance in the agricultural sector. Output growth is impossible unless new varieties and hybrids are developed. Breeding is based on the replenishment, study and preservation of the genetic basis of vegetable crops. The vegetable crop collection numbers 3641 samples by 39 vegetable crop species.

The bank ensures that the gene pool
forming species of Belarus is preserved and provides for the long-term storage of forest seed material. The collection of forest genetic resources in natural stands is represented by 17 forest genetic reserves (4800 ha), plus forest stands covering an area of 1160 ha, and plus trees in the amount of 2730 pieces. The study and conservation of the gene pool in artificial plantings is carried
plus trees − 24 hectares (300 clones), in the collection for testing of plus trees’ generations − 25 ha (1270 families) and in the climatype collection − 52 ha (267 climatypes). In the forest fund of Belarus, more than 40% of a new forest area is annually created using breeding planting material to increase productivity and improve its qualitative composition.

plant genetic resources of the Republic
species and their relatives and stores 76.5 thousand samples
Genetic Resources of the Republic of Belarus, more than one thousand of cultivated plant varieties were developed during the programme period of 2000-2017 occupying an area
thousand hectares were reforested (40% of the total reforestation volume)
Red Book of the Republic of Belarus and subject to protection were preserved
Participation of the Republic of Belarus in the activity of the International Plant Genetic Resources Network ensured. Scientific collaboration with the international organization “Biodiversity International” acting under the FAO auspices, with international agricultural research centres and gene banks across the globe effected. Meaningful involvement of the Republic of Belarus to address the global challenge of biodiversity conservation and coordinate the activities under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity achieved.
More than 3.5 thousand collection samples by 10 crops of various ecologic and geographic
been studied at the Belarusian Base Point of the All-Russian Institute over this period allowing to identify potential sources of economic characters recommended for use in Belarusian and Russian breeding.

GRIN-Global is the software that enables gene banks to store and manage information related to plant genetic resources and provide this information across the globe.
On 10 November 2017, on the World Science Day for Peace and Development and in anticipation of the 130th anniversary of N.I. Vavilov’s birth, the Republican Unitary Enterprise “Scientific and Practical Center for Arable Farming” had the solemn unveiling of the memorial sign dedicated to the National Bank of Plant Genetic Resources of the Republic of Belarus. The memorial sign recalls an open book with the words of the creator of the richest in the world collection of plant resources ‒ Academician N.I. Vavilov.
