<P> Gene banks are a type of biorepository which preserve genetic material . For plants , this could be by freezing cuttings from the plant , or stocking the seeds ( e.g. in a seedbank ) . For animals , this is the freezing of sperm and eggs in zoological freezers until further need . With corals , fragments are taken which are stored in water tanks under controlled conditions . Plant genetic material in a ' gene bank ' is preserved at - 196 ° Celsius in Liquid Nitrogen as mature seed ( dry ) . </P>
