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.
