Abstract
The realized dangers of genetic erosion in plant genetic resources have prompted political and scientific movements around the world to conserve plant genetic resources over the last 50 yr. More than 7 million plant germplasm accessions are currently conserved in 1750 genebanks worldwide, and about two million accessions are estimated to be unique. The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture was established to conserve and utilize these plant genetic resources. However, long‐term conservation of such a large volume of diverse germplasm remains a challenging mission. Many critical issues affecting genebank sustainability have emerged. Of note are the vulnerability of genebanks and the risk of within‐genebank genetic erosion through genetic drift and viability selection. Here, we review the overall conservation efforts over the last 50 yr, analyze the critical issues in genebanks, and identify the elements that threaten long‐term germplasm conservation. Measures are explored with the hope to mitigate variable threats for genebank sustainability and to secure a food supply for humanity for generations to come.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
