  bibo_abstract:
  - "Seeds have traditionally been collected according to their reproductive cycles,
    i.e. the time when they lose their potential of becoming a\r\nreal plant. Therefore,
    the locations of botanic gardens or seed banks imply\r\nthe vicinity of agricultural
    land. This article exemplifies the transformation\r\nof plant collections into
    gene and data banks by investigating the Svalbard\r\nGlobal Seed Vault (SGSV)
    in Norway and the German Genebank for Fruit\r\nCrops (DGO). It shows that international
    efforts to safeguard biodiversity\r\nby intertwining them with bioinformatics
    infrastructure transform seeds\r\nand other plant genetic material into digitalized
    objects. The almost virtual\r\ngenetic material, now stored without the neighborhood
    of acres or gardens, is, at the same time, seen as “options” for new high-tech
    plants,\r\nwhich might be transplanted to a future territory. Consequently, plant
    varieties are circulating around the globe in form of genetic material and data.\r\nThe
    article shows that the digitalization induces a specific distinction between the
    material and the digital flows of plants. @eng"
