Cannabis, also known as marijuana among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant.

Native to Central and South Asia, the cannabis plant has been used as a drug for both recreational and entheogenic purposes and in various traditional medicines for centuries.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive component of cannabis, which is one of the 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD).

Cannabis can be used by smoking, vaporizing, within food, or as an extract.

Seedbank at the USDA Western Regional Plant Introduction Station.

A seed bank (also seed banks or seeds bank) stores seeds to preserve genetic diversity; hence it is a type of gene bank.

There are many reasons to store seeds.

One is to preserve the genes that plant breeders need to increase yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, nutritional quality, taste, etc.

of crops.

Another is to forestall loss of genetic diversity in rare or imperiled plant species in an effort to conserve biodiversity ex situ.

Many plants that were used centuries ago by humans are used less frequently now; seed banks offer a way to preserve that historical and cultural value.

Collections of seeds stored at constant low temperature and low moisture are guarded against loss of genetic resources that are otherwise maintained in situ or in field collections.

These alternative "living" collections can be damaged by natural disasters, outbreaks of disease, or war.

Seed banks are considered seed libraries, containing valuable information about evolved strategies to combat plant stress, and can be used to create genetically modified versions of existing seeds.

The Yecoro wheat (right) cultivar is sensitive to salinity, plants resulting from a hybrid cross with cultivar W4910 (left) show greater tolerance to high salinity.
