Solution(By Examveda Team)

Germplasm for short-term storage is a working collection.
Germplasm conservation is the most successful method to conserve the genetic traits of endangered and commercially valuable species. Germplasm is a live information source for all the genes present in the respective plant, which can be conserved for long periods and regenerated.
Short-term storage, maintained at 18 to 20ºC and 30 to 40% relative humidity, is used to hold seeds while they are dried and prepared for medium and long-term storage.
