VIR: from a small Bureau in the Russian Empire to the present-day National Center for Plant Genetic Resources

Main Article Content
Abstract
In 2024, the All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR), the world’s oldest scientific institution dedicated to plant genetic resources (PGR), celebrates its 130th anniversary. Founded as the Bureau of Applied Botany in the late 19th century, VIR has evolved into a globally recognized institute, currently also known as the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources. It preserves a collection of more than 320,000 unique accessions from 64 botanical families, 376 genera and 2,169 species. The Institute’s mission includes the systematic collection, comprehensive study, long-term conservation and sustainable utilization of PGR. The foundation for most of VIR’s research endeavours was laid by Nikolay Vavilov, a prominent botanist, geneticist, plant breeder and scientist with an encyclopedic scope of knowledge. A key strength of the Institute has always been its extensive cooperation with global, regional and international organizations, as well as research institutes, universities and breeding centres in many countries around the world. Today, as the National Center for PGR, VIR continues to build on this legacy. Its efforts include the development of a legislative platform for genetic resources in Russia and fostering international scientific cooperation on PGR, continuing the vision of Nikolay Vavilov.
