Surface-sterilized seeds of drought-tolerant chickpea variety ILC588 (Rehman et al. ICARDA, ) were germinated in germination boxes on filter paper at ICARDA (Syria).
So Icarda moved most of its seeds to safety outside Syria, including to the "doomsday vault" in Svalbard Seed Vault in Norway, in the Arctic circle.
"It would have been a calamity," if Icarda had lost its own seeds to the war, said Shiv Agrawal, Icarda's legume coordinator.
Syrian authorities sent a backup of the collection to the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, known as Icarda, an international gene bank long headquartered in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Our team at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (Icarda) was forced to abandon its headquarters and research station in the Syrian city of Aleppo in July 2012.
The scientists requested 128 boxes out of 325 they had deposited in Norway, containing a total of 116,474 samples, said Ahmed Amri, the head of genetic resources for Icarda.

The late-CIMMYT germplasm (FST = 0.361 and 0.306) was the most differentiated from the ICARDA-dryland and Italian-early CIMMYT sub-populations.> -wrap-foot> Analysis of molecular variance for the elite durum wheat panel of 183 accessions adapted to Mediterranean areas based on the sub-population subdivision as from a previous population genetic structure analysis [ 20, 38].
ICARDA's work could address both of these problems by distributing seeds to farmers and by increasing yields from an already limited planting cycle — or in the event of another drought.
The eam5 locus was described as a mutation of unknown origin isolated from an ICARDA/CIMMYT selection CMB85-533 (Higuerilla*2/Gobernadora) and mapped onto chromosome 5H (Jain 1961; Franckowiak 2002).
Of these, 100 originated from China, 54 were from other Asian countries, 39 were from Europe, 30 were from Africa, 14 were from the America, 9 breeding lines were sourced from the ICARDA International Center for Agricultural Researchh in the Dry Areas) faba bean breeding program and one was from Oceania (Additional file 1: Table S1).
