Seed bank / Gene bank

There are currently about 1,400 seed banks around the world, but the most famous is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which opened on Feb. 26, 2008. It is located deep in the side of a frozen arctic mountain in Longyearbyen, Norway, and can weather any disaster from bombings to earthquakes. Also known as the Doomsday Vault. It functions as a global repository and backup for all other seed banks

There are white seeds in seedless watermelon. How can they call them seedless?

Those white seeds are vestigial seeds and are not viable - which means they don't have the innards to germinate. They can be eaten. Since a fruit's function is to provide seeds for plant propagation, it can be difficult to produce a completely seedless fruit. At least you don't have a bunch of seeds to spit out!
