Plant Genetic Resources Research Institute

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) - Plant Genetic Resources Research Institute (PGRRI) collects and conserves plant genetic resources of Ghana in order to ensure their effective conservation and use for food security and sustainable agricultural development. The CSIR-PGRRI was established in 1964 with the responsibility of conserving both orthodox and recalcitrant germplasm through cold-, field- and in-vitro storage. It is one of the 13 research institutes of Ghana’s national Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. To ensure the realization of its mandate to collect and conserve the plant genetic resources of Ghana for the benefit of current and future generations, the CSIR-PGRRI maintains a diverse germplasm collection composed of legume, cereal, vegetable, root and tuber, medicinal, spice plants, fruit, forest tree species and crop wild relatives.

Passport Data Completeness Index (PDCI)
Genesys uses the PDCI as an indicator of the completeness of published passport data. The PDCI uses the presence or absence of data points in the documentation of a genebank accession, taking into account the presence or value of other data points (van Hintum et al. 2011). For example, a wild accession should have a well-defined collection site but no variety name. The PDCI ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 is the minimum score assigned to rather incomplete passport records and 10 is the maximum score assigned to very complete passport records. Any type of accession, wild, landrace, breeding material or modern variety, can attain the PDCI’s maximal score.
Average PDCI score for 15,072 accessions is 4.93, with minimum score of 0.95 and maximum score of 7.25.
