International Moss Stock Center, Biorepository and kryobank at University of Freiburg, Germany.
The International Moss Stock Center preserves moss samples in specialized freezers at temperatures below -135°C using liquid nitrogen for scientific research purposes.
Following the complete genome sequencing of Physcomitrella patens in 2008, the center opened in 2010 to address the need for centralized moss sample storage.
The facility contributes to global plant science by maintaining collections of various moss species, supporting research across international scientific communities.
Scientists can deposit their moss samples at the center and receive trackable accession numbers for citation purposes in academic publications.
The preservation method ensures a complete regeneration rate of 100 percent for Physcomitrella patens specimens stored in the facility.
