Plant genetic resources is a very important as breeding materials, and extracts of functional and medicinary plants for human. Kenya that is composed of alpine, costal and desert area in eastnorth Africa may be abundant biodiversity in plant genetic resources. It had established national genebank of Kenya(NGBK) that is supported by technical development agency of Germany in 1988 to do conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources as well as a maintenance of biodiversity. The NGBK genebank has conserved more than 1,900 species and 48,000 accessions including food crops that are rice, wheat, barley, and cow pea, horticultural and fodder crops, introduced and collected germplasms in Africa. Phenotypic characterization have been evaluated in only about 40% of germplasms. The passport data in kenya consists of accession number, scientific name, collection area, donation number. To introduce a plant genetic resources from NGBK, it should need to conduct cooperative research between Korea and Kenya on characterization including molecular biotechnology.
