Gene banks are a type of biorepository that preserves genetic material. For plants, this is done by in vitro storage, freezing cuttings from the plant, or stocking the seeds (e.g. in a seedbank).
For animals, this is done by the freezing of sperm and eggs in zoological freezers until further need.
With corals, fragments are taken which are stored in water tanks under controlled conditions.
Plant genetic material in a 'gene bank' is preserved at -196 celsius in liquid nitrogen as mature seed dry.
Ex-situ conservation of plant genetic resources can be achieved through different methods such as seed banks, field gene banks, in-vitro storage methods, pollen banks and DNA banks.
