Cannabis strains are either pure or hybrid varieties of Cannabis, typically of C.

sativa, C.

indica and C.

ruderalis.

Varieties are developed to intensify specific characteristics of the plant, or to differentiate the strain for the purposes of marketing or to make it more effective as a drug.

Variety names are typically chosen by their growers, and often reflect properties of the plant such as taste, color, smell, or the origin of the variety.

Cannabis strains commonly refer to those varieties with recreational and medicinal use.

These varieties have been cultivated to contain a high percentage of cannabinoids.

Several varieties of Cannabis, known as hemp, have a very low cannabinoid content, and are instead grown for their fiber and seed.

A seed bank (also seedbank 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 reason is to have on-hand the genes that plant breeders need to increase yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, nutritional quality, etc.

of plants used in agriculture (i.e., crops or domesticated species).

Another reason 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 and seed banks offer a way to preserve that historical and cultural value.

Collections of seeds stored at constant low temperature and moisture guard 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 and contain valuable information about evolved strategies to combat plant stress or produce novel products.

The work of seed banks spans decades and even centuries.

Cannabis, also known as marijuana among several other names, is a preparation of the Cannabis plant intended for use as a psychoactive drug or medicine.

The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC); one of 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids.

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