Australian PlantBank, Seed vault and research facility in Mount Annan, Australia

The Australian PlantBank contains a comprehensive collection of seeds from over 1500 native plant species within temperature-controlled storage vaults at Mount Annan.

The facility began operations in 1986 as a conservation center, later expanding into a modern research institution with its grand opening in October 2013.

Scientists and researchers at the PlantBank contribute to the preservation of Australian botanical heritage through systematic collection and documentation of indigenous flora.

The facility maintains precise temperature controls and advanced freezing systems to ensure the long-term viability of stored seeds for future regeneration projects.

Each seed specimen undergoes detailed documentation and testing procedures to determine optimal storage conditions and germination requirements for species preservation.
