Description Management and distribution of experimental data from prebreeding projects
is important to ensure uptake of germplasm into breeding and research programs.
Being able to access and share this data in standard formats is essential.
The adoption of a common informatics platform for crops that may have limited
resources brings economies of scale, allowing common informatics components
to be used across multiple species. The close integration of such a platform with
commonly used breeding software, visualization, and analysis tools reduces the
barrier for entry to researchers and provides a common framework to facilitate
collaborations and data sharing. This work presents significant updates to the
Germinate platform and highlights its value in distributing prebreeding data for
14 crops as part of the project ‘Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Collecting,
Protecting and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives’ (hereafter Crop Trust Crop
Wild Relatives project) led by the Crop Trust (https://www.cwrdiversity.org). The
addition of data on these species compliments data already publicly available in
Germinate. We present a suite of updated Germinate features using examples
from these crop species and their wild relatives. The use of Germinate within the
Crop TrustCropWildRelatives project demonstrates the usefulness of the system
and the benefits a shared informatics platform provides. These data resources
provide a foundation on which breeding and research communities can develop
additional online resources for their crops, harness new data as it becomes available,
and benefit collectively from future developments of the Germinate platform.
