VTV.vn - A model of a desert gene bank was developed to preserve selected seeds that have the ability to grow well in the desert. The gene bank model in the desert developed by the the International Center for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) in Dubai is not only a place to store and test, but in the future the seeds here can also become useful crops.
