… the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR) [was established in 1974] to coordinate an international plant genetic resources programme including emergency collecting missions, and building and expanding national, regional and international gene banks. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the [United Nations] (FAO) acted as secretariat. In 1991, IBPGR became the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) and in January 1994, IPGRI began independent operation as a CGIAR [Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research] center and at the request of CGIAR, took over the governance and administration of the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain (INIBAP). 5, record 1, English, - International%20Plant%20Genetic%20Resources%20Institute
