UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank
The UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank is an exploitable resource that aims to improve soil and crop health by focusing on plant microbiomes.[1] The cryobank provides a bank of cultures, resources, and information to facilitate research into optimizing plant yields using a sustainable agricultural approach.[2]
The UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank targets six of the UK’s key crops and supports the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) strategic priorities in agriculture and food security.[3] It also aligns with three of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The cryobank, completed in October 2023, uses cryo-research techniques to preserve the crop microbiome samples.[4]
