Genebank details

World Vegetable Center

The World Vegetable Center Vegetable Genetic Resources Information System (WorldVeg Genebank) is an information system that manages the data of all vegetable germplasm conserved at GRSU, AVRDC. It is designed to manage the GRSU operations more efficiently.  It links all operations associated with germplasm conservation and management from registration, characterization, evaluation, seed inventory and seed distribution to end-users.

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 75,582 accessions is 6.28, with minimum score of 2.50 and maximum score of 8.80.
