A software system for tobacco germplasm data

Abstract

Tobacco germplasm are of different 'types', with large numbers of accessions in each type. In order to effectively manage this tobacco germplasm information, a user-friendly menudriven software has been developed based on Visual Cþþ and MS-Access. The system allows the user to store, modify and update germplasm information as and when required, and represents a decision-making tool.

The World Saffron and Crocus collection: strategies for establishment, management, characterisation and utilisation

“…The need of maintaining and exchanging such information is specifically recognized in Articles 7d and 17 of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD 1993). The design of global information database, are of extreme importance to the conservation and use of collections (Wallace et al 2008;Pandey et al 2008;Ravisankar et al 2008;Upadhyaya et al 2008;Khoury et al 2010). The conversion of off-line database to a searchable online database is a high priority on acting to build better information systems (Khoury et al 2010).…”

Development of web based database on biochemical characteristics of rapeseed-mustard

“…As Information on the biochemical characteristics of rapeseed-mustard is essential for improving the genotypes, therefore, need arises to maintain information on biochemical characteristics in an organized and accessible manner. This could be achieved by developing databases containing information similar to many other plant databases [2, 3, 4]. No specific online database is available which can be used as such for rapeseed-mustard crop that can meet the requirement of information retrieval need of local users as well as at the country level.…”
