• Exploration and germplasm collection across agro-ecological zones.
• Plant quarantine and introduction of exotic plant genetic resources.
• Characterization, evaluation, and documentation of crop accessions.
• Long-term ex-situ conservation in the National Gene Bank (NGB) at $-18^\circ\text{C}$ / cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen (second largest genebank in the world).
