germplasm

Is living tissue from which new plants can be grown. It can be a seed or another plant part ? a leaf, a piece of stem, pollen or even just a few cells that can be turned into a whole plant. Germplasm contains the information for a species' genetic makeup, a valuable natural resource of plant diversity.
