At present, GBOWS already has collected the 376 copies of seeds in 31 genera and 118 speceis of Gesneriaceae. At the same time, many living plants in this family were collected and introduced, and cultivated in the nursery for the further researches.

Dr Zhang Ting said that one of the most important tasks in GBSW is to collect and conserve while serving scientific researches. Dr Wen Fang, also, deemed we should further strengthen our cooperation, and make great efforts to collect, conserve and preserve the germplasm resources of China’s Gesneriaceae. It is one pf the most important aspects of GCCC, but it is an important part of further scientific researching, publicizing and popularizing Gesneriaceae in the future. GCCC and GBOWS plan to carry out the specialized collection for Gesneriaceae seeds in Guangxi.

GCCC was vary happy to get the 47 germplasm copies/species of Gesneriaceae. Those materials cover China’s 46 species from different genera, and include living plants, leaves, stems and seeds.
