GBIS

GBIS manages and disseminates information for the German Federal ex situ Genebank of Agricultural and Horticultural Crop Species to support conservation and use of plant genetic resources.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Data Management: GBIS supports processes for organizing and retrieving germplasm and genebank data for large plant genetic resource collections.
• Scientific Value: GBIS preserves diverse genetic material and associated data to support biodiversity research and breeding programs.
• Breeding Support: GBIS enables identification of suitable germplasm for breeders to facilitate development of new crop varieties with desirable traits.

Scientific Applications:

• Research Facilitation: Researchers access detailed information on plant genetic resources to support studies in biodiversity conservation and agricultural innovation.
• Global Integration: GBIS contributes data to international platforms such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and the European Search Catalogue for Plant Genetic Resources (EURISCO).

Methodology:

Integrates various data types associated with plant genetic resources to support genebank management and data dissemination.
