Session Description: To meet the challenge of feeding the future, we must mine the biodiversity captured in thousands of accessions stored in seed banks. Enhanced genomic, phenomic, and bioinformatic technologies are enabling us to design novel, systematic, concerted global approaches to move forward. This symposium will highlight the prominent role of genetic resources in the post-genomic era.
