The Institute of Forest offers consumers services for the formation of a genetic bank of seeds of forest tree species for carrying out activities in the field of conservation of the genetic fund of forest tree and shrub species of Belarus and other countries under a manufacturing agreement or an outsorsing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

The Genetic Bank was established as part of the State Scientific Institution "Institute of Forest of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus" to carry out activities in the field of conservation of the genetic fund of forest tree and shrub species of Belarus by ex situ conservation, processing of forest seeds, storage, testing and research of samples of seeds, pollen, vegetative organs.

More information about the Gene Bank can be found on the Institute's website. (in Russian)
