Seed collections of 70 endangered plant species from Sicily
Seed collections of 70 endangered plant species from Sicily have recently arrived to the Millennium Seed Bank (4th of December 2012 and 18th of January 2013).
They were already clean and they will be stored in the seed bank in the coming weeks. Duplicates of these collections are already stored in the University of Catania.
