PLANT VIRUS GENBANK retains a number of accessions and a wide range of collections of Plant Virus Biomaterials useful for Plant Virology and Biotech Research.  PVGB was established on April in 1999 and started its role from the Biotech Lab in Seoul Women's University before joining the National Program.  PVGB has moved to its current status on November in 2000 and has modern facilities and infrastructures for supporting Plant Virology.  PVGB has been recognized as a member of World Federation for Culture Collection
& World Data Center for Microorganisms (WFCC-WDCM) since April of 2001.

Mission

 

PVGB is a nonprofit semi-governmental organization, one of the National Support Program for Special Materials Banks by the Ministry of Science & Technology (MOST) and by the Korea Science & Engineering Foundation (KOSEF) dedicated to the Collection, Identification, Characterization, Preservation, Research Development, Distribution and Deposition of Plant Virus Research Biomaterials established since 1999.

 

 
 PVGB Substructure
 

PVGB has 3 substructures and their major roles are as follows :

        - Development of Virus Research Biomaterials (Virus cDNA, infectious clones)

        - Screening of Virus Variations (variants, mutants, quasi-species)

        - Molecular Taxonomy & Diversity (Phylogeny, Virus Evolution)

        - Screening for Virus Resistance (Plant genes, Transgenic Plants)

        - Development of Virus Research Techniques (In vitro Transcripts,
           Risk Assessment)

        - Biotech Application (X-ray Crystallography, Plant Virus Vector, DNA Chip)

Plant Virus Preservation & Detection Unit (PVPDU)

        - Collection and Acquisition of Plant Virus

        - Identification and Characterization of Plant Virus

        - Propagation and Preservation of Plant Virus Culture

        - Development of Plant Virus Detection and Diagnosis Techniques

Plant Virus Distribution Service Unit (PVDSU)

        - Distribution Service of Plant Virus and Virus Research Biomaterials

        - Safe Deposit Service

        - Collection of Plant Virology Research Information

        - Management of accessions, Web site and database
