Sure, a scenario in which it might become necessary for human survival AND is accessed by people who would use the seeds for good purposes isn’t even all that likely, but it’s no overstatement that agriculture is what made human civilization possible in the first place. For the most part, we take that for granted way too much.

Excellent information! Before hybrid seeds became available in the early 1930's, farmers grew a wide verity of seed crops that were hardy and thrived on their land. There were hundreds of varieties of corn and beans. After plants were bred for uniformity to allow for mechanical harvesting, many plant varieties were lost forever. Had it not been for farm and gardening families who kept growing the heirloom seed and later the Seed Savers Exchange, our farm crops family tree today would look like a telephone pole. To better see understand the urgent need for banking plant genetics. By growing a national crop that has the same genetics, you have the making of the Great Irish Potato Famine of 1845. ~ Thank you for making people more aware of the value of preserving our food plants genetic treasures for the Future.

@Dracomandriuthus

2 жыл бұрын

The difference is that selective breeding follows pretty much the same rules of standard evolution. Genemodded seeds don't follow that rule, and since we don't have a guaranteed understanding of what would happen with those genemodded seeds in perpetuity, we can't accurately predict what changes we would make that have later impacts on the seeds. Of course there's decisions we make that might lead to a cascading failure state if we simply selectively bred something to a desired state until it degenerated to a point of nonfunctionality= See dogs, for example, and their current purebreds that have a high likelihood of health problems, such as the large dogs with hip and spine issues. But, all in all, since the seeds that have been behaviorally trained in certain environments to succeed in those environments follow the standard evolutionary paths, they have genetic drift in each seed. That's not necessarily the case for gene-modded seeds. Because of that, the amount of variance becomes much more predictable, but we haven't actually put the time in to determine the predictability of those seeds to degeneration. Going back to the dog example, if you have a few purebred dogs that breeed with each other over a couple generations, it doesn't matter that they're purebred, they'll eventually become a mnutt, that doesn't have the same health problems that consistently plague the purebreds. Maybe the mutt will have one, but it isn't likely to have *all* of them, and continued free access to the gene pool will lead that mutts offspring to select for the positive traits on average. Plants work the same way.

While on the surface this comment seemed to be intended partially as a joke, you raise an important point. Pollinators play a huge role in agriculture and we need to protect them. However, it would be much more difficult to make a vault to back up the species of animals that pollinate because it's not easy to create living organisms from DNA. Also if a whole species died and we brought it back using stored DNA, there's a chance that the species would not have some of the behaviors that it has before it died off, because some behaviors are learned from other members of the species and there would be no extant members to teach the new members how to act. Also, some insect colonies have hierarchies that might be difficult to recreate and make viable again. Long story short, our best chance of protecting pollinators is when they are alive. We need to learn about the ways they function in their ecosystems and make sure that we protect the things that keep them alive.

This is fascinating! I had heard about /his place. Thanks to KZread, we can see so much.

The seed bank had a slight water issue due to rising temperatures. Some water flooded into the main entrance, but froze a few meters inside, no seeds were harmed. Renovations were made and completed in 2019 to prevent further water seepage, but how long until this happens again? The ice is melting faster than engineers planned when they designed the seed vault.

3:25 no weed? Among the species of plant preserved in the vault are around 21,500 seeds belonging to the cannabis genus, donated in 2014. The seeds were provided by Alchimia, a Spanish seed bank. I guess she's right when she said they don't look in the boxes...

So I checked those Canadian numbers and according to database they store the wheat and barley in majority, then some corn, beans, and grass based on institution number of CAN004. however those particular box numbers are not in database, they were either withdrawn meanwhile in last two years, or the woman is not telling us the whole story what is stored there :-D

So even thousands of years ago when we started growing things and planting the ones that tasted best, we were genetically modifying plants!

The goal of the Svalbard seed vault is to contain the seeds used for agricultural biodiversity. The plants stored are all the plants that make up what is used in every day food. Which is why plants like marijuana aren't stored yes there are cases where marijuana can be used for medical purposes, however marijuana can't feed people and keep people alive. If all the plants and seeds in the world outside the vault is destroyed, no one is going to be concerned over whether marijuana seeds are safe there are far greater worries.

Would love to see an update video on the seed vault. Since one year after visiting that vault, it was flooded (nothing extreme) due to the melting of the permafrost which was caused by climate change. A follow-up video would be great to see how they are addressing it now moving forward, since the vault is meant to stay secure eternal without human interaction but ever since then now is under watch 24/7 by humans.
