Plant genetic resources (PGR) are finite, vulnerable and fast eroding. The ICRISAT genebank at Patancheru, India conserves the largest collections (125,050 accessions) of its mandate crops: sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeonpea, groundnut and finger millet and five small millets, from 144 countries. Gap analysis was performed for identifying geographical gaps in the existing collections for future exploration to ensure the availability of wide variability to researchers
