In September 2021, the scientific, peer-reviewed open access journal Plants published a special issue entitled “A Critical Review of the Current Approaches and Procedures of Plant Genetic Resources Conservation and Facilitating Use: Theory and Practice”. In the article "Effective Coordination and Governance of PGRFA Conservation and Use at the National Level - The Example of Germany", the IBV team describes in detail the historical development that has led to today's efficient structures for the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources.
