【正文】 ections in a haphazard manner. Labs in Mexico banked corn species. Those in Nigeria banked cassava. Now these scattershot efforts are being urgently consolidated and systematized, in part because of better technology to preserve plant genes and in part because of the rising alarm about climate change and its impact on world food production. 多年來，很多龐雜的種子庫網(wǎng)絡一直以隨意的方式收集種子和苗芽?，F(xiàn)在，正對這些分散的努力進行亟需的整合和系統(tǒng)化操作。 7．“We started thinking about this post9/11 and on the heels of Hurricane Katrina,” said Cary Fowler, president of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, a nonprofit group that runs the vault. “Everyone was saying, why didn’t anyone prepare for a hurricane before? We knew it was going to happen. 卡里11’事件之后、尤其是卡特里娜颶風之后，開始有這個構(gòu)想的?！薄 ?．“Well, we are losing biodiversity every day — it’s a kind of drip, drip, drip. It’s also inevitable. We need to do something about it.” 他指出：“喏，我們每天都在損失生物多樣性——一點一滴地在損失。” 9．This week the urgency of the problem was underscored as wheat prices rose to record highs and wheat stores dropped to the lowest level in 35 years. A series of droughts and new diseases cut wheat production in many parts of the world. “The erosion of plants’ genetic resources is really going fast,” said Dr. Rony Swennen, head of the division of crop biotechnology at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, who has preserved half of the world’s 1,200 banana types. “We’re at a critical moment and if we don’t act fast, we’re going to lose a lot of plants that we may need.” 本周，由于小麥價格上升到最高紀錄水平和小麥儲存量下滑到35年來最低水平，更加突出了這個問題的緊迫性。羅尼斯文奈恩博士說：“植物基因資源正在受到快速侵蝕?！薄 ?0．The United Nations International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources, ratified in 2004, created a formal global network for banking and sharing seeds, as well as for studying their genetic traits. Last year, its database received thousands of new seeds. 已于2004年獲得批準的聯(lián)合國國際植物基因資源條約創(chuàng)建了一個正式的全球網(wǎng)絡，旨在對種子進行儲存和共享并對其遺傳特征進行研究。 11．A system of plant banks could be crucial in responding to climate crises since it could identify genetic material and plant strains better able to cope with a changed environment. 由于植物庫系統(tǒng)能夠識別出那些對環(huán)境變化適應能力較強的基
