World Wide Seedbanks Containing Nicotiana Tabacum

[darren1979]

I decided to make a list of all the seedbanks I've stumbled upon over the last year or so containing nicotiana tabacum, hope you guys find it of some use.

First is the Canadian agriculture and agri-food.
Containing 256 available germplasm of tabacum and rustica. Heres the complete LIST
I have not ordered from this website but they say they send international orders.

Next is the best known USDA agricultural research service.
Containing 1685 active germplasm and nearly 1200 inactive germplasm (as of today) it is the largest collection available.
Heres the LIST
Currently not sending orders Internationally.

Third on the list is AusPGRIS, Australian Plant Genetic Resources Information System.
Containing 502 records of nicotiana tabacum i believe they send Internationally.
Complete LIST

Forth is Evigez, Plant Genetic Resources Documentation in the Czech Republic
Containing 191 germplasm of Nicotiana.
Can be found HERE

Fifth is NordGen, Nordic GeneBank
Containing a grand total of 1 nicotiana germplasm named Ahus Tobak
Can be found HERE

Sixth is IPK Gatersleben
Containing 355 germplasm of Nicotiana tabacum
List can be found HERE

Please remember that most if not all genbanks require you to do some sort of research on the germplasm you have requested, please do so, they are funded by goverments and if they dont see results funding maybe stopped or decreased.

If you have found any more genbanks containing Nicotiana tabacum or rustica please feel free to share.

Enjoy.

Great listing.

The Canadian Nicotiana listing seems to be toast at the moment.
The USDA entry is for our familiar ARS-GRIN. An alternate search page is http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_site_acc.pl?TOB Nicotiana tabacum
Gatersleben is in Germany.
There is a substantial seed bank in France. It's been recently posted, but I did not track down the link.
