About Nordic Baltic Genebanks

Welcome to Nordic-Baltic Genebanks! This site is a database tool gathering all information belonging to the plant genetic resources of the genebanks in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It is used both internally within each genebank and for external users who want to browse information and order genetic material. Nordic-Baltic Genebanks is the database of NordGen and the national genebanks of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The database is using the international system GRIN-Global and replaces the former database system SESTO. The Nordic-Baltic Genebanks system has been active since 2020.

• If you need assistance in how the system works, please follow this link to our manual.
• You can also use video tutorials for Grin Global published by USDA by following this link.

If you have questions not covered by the manuals above, please contact the relevant genebank. See contact details below:
