Jill, while it isn't quite what you are suggesting, you might be encouraged
by the Millennium Seed Bank that Kew organised. Go to
http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/conservation/seedcon.html to read about it (but be
patient, the RBG Kew sites are sometimes VERY slow to load). Perhaps it
could expand into your sort of genome bank eveentually . . . Derek
