Over 93,500 accessions of seeds maintained by WRPIS are kept in a cold storage facility on the WSU campus at Pullman. The seeds are stored in metal or plastic containers and manila envelopes in a room maintained at 4° C (39° Fahrenheit) and around 30% relative humidity. Clonal germplasm is maintained in a separate cold room maintained at 12-13° C (54° Fahrenheit) and around 50% relative humidity. Back-up and regeneration samples are maintained at or below -18° C storage temperature in a separate walk in freezer unit.
