Indigenous seeds are grown by the farmers over the years with a strong influence from local natural factors. Such seeds have a higher level of intrapopulation variations and the capacity of buffering the adverse factors. Understanding indigenous seeds along with their diversity are useful to diversify their uses, to assess conservation status, to k...

... general, all landraces from the red zone are defined as endangered. Red zones are those areas where native technologies and germplasm are at the risk of being lost due to both natural and human-made factors e.g., earthquakes, changes in land use, distribution of modern variety, commercialization, etc. (Figure 1). All landraces that are endangered and rare are defined as a red list. ...

... More advanced and effective techniques have become the norm in seed storage technologies in recent years (Balyan et al., 2024). Seed vaults and gene banks are examples of controlled-environment seed storage facilities that have gained popularity because they may offer the best conditions for preserving seeds (Joshi, 2021). The development of technology such as cryopreservation has made it possible to store seeds for lengthy periods at extremely low temperatures, maintaining their genetic integrity and viability (Kaviani, 2011). ...
Seed storage innovation assumes an essential part in guaranteeing worldwide food security by safeguarding genetic variety and preserving seed feasibility over time. This review article gives a complete outline of ongoing patterns and advances in supportable seed stockpiling strategies. Starting with an investigation of the significance of seed storage about food security challenges, the audit digs into conventional seed storing strategies and their obstacles. Additionally review also provides a comprehensive analysis of maintainable methodologies like controlled air capacity, cryopreservation, and seed preparing, featuring their adequacy in dragging out seed suitability while diminishing energy utilization and natural effect. Moreover, the review discusses the incorporation of digital technologies, for example, artificial intelligence and blockchain, in seed storage management to enhance the traceability and convenience of seed collections. Additionally, the role of community-based seed banks and participatory plant breeding in promoting seed resilience against climate change is explored. By discussing current research findings and practical applications, this review aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about the diverse range of sustainable seed storage solutions available to safeguard global agricultural biodiversity and ensure food security in the face of evolving ecological challenges.
