Presentation Title Goes Here …presentation subtitle. Genebank Information System IRRI-GRIMS

What is IRRI-GRIMS? IRRI-Genetic Resources Information Management System Functionalities are based on International Rice Genebank Collection Information System (IRGCIS), except that: –It uses ICIS schema (GMS, IMS and DMS). –It uses database backend independent IDE (Borland Delphi 2000). –New features/ functionalities are added and/or modified to adopt to changing (genebank) users’ requirements. –ICIS applications are called within the program (i.e. no need to launch the ICIS Launcher to open SetGen, for example). Assists genebank staff to systematically perform their day- to-day activities and operations –Performs germplasm associated operations inside the genebank and outside the field

What does IRRI-GRIMS do? Seed Acquisition –maintaining and making available of detailed information about sample’s origin and its main characteristics (passport data); processing of incoming sample; assigning of IRGC accession number; and determining the MLS status Seed Characterization –management of observed morphological and agronomic traits, as well as reactions to biotic and abiotic stresses, of acccessions Seed Multiplication –periodically rejuvenating and increasing of the accessions by monitoring the seed stock and viability Seed Management –Inventory management; storing and maintaining the accessions in a cold store rooms and sending of backup duplicates to NCGRP and Svalbard –periodically monitoring of seed viability System Administration –Database manager’s interface in managing the user interfaces (i.e. Grant and revoke access to specific interface)

Passport data Names Inventory data

Barcode Label LOTID

Register the donor info of the incoming batch of seed Create temporary acc ID Register passport info Process seed for initial seed increase Monitor samples in the field Check viability and harvest Passed? Create accession Passed When do we create a seed lot? Acquisition Fail CREATE SEED LOT

Select planting material based on viability, species, and current stock Withdraw seeds Monitor samples in the field Check viability and harvest Passed? Passed Fail CREATE SEED LOT When to create a seed lot? Seed increase

Use of Barcode Technology BASE Collection

Summary Started in September Complete inventory and data cleaning are made possible during GPG1 funded barcoding activity.

Limitations Seed movement and tracking within and outside organizational unit are still not documented by the application. Experimental data in the field are still being recorded using paper and pencil, not through handheld device.

Plans Extend the scope of barcode technology to include field operations, seed health testing, and seed distribution
