3. The cost and technical challenges of developing and maintaining an information system can be daunting for many smaller crop collections. The Crop Trust, Bioversity International and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)-ARS have addressed these challenges through the development of the classic Germplasm Resource Information Network (GRIN) software into a scalable and flexible genebank data management system, called GRIN-Global.
The GRIN-Global platform is suitable for use by any interested genebank in the world.

4. What is GRIN-Global?
GRIN-Global (GG) is a database application that enables genebanks to store and manage information associated with plant genetic resources (germplasm) and deliver that information globally.

5. What data does GRIN-Global store?
Password and Provenance (Accession ID, Taxonomy, Origin, Material type, Intellectual Property, Material Transfer Agrrement Status, Availability, etc.)
Phenotypic observations
Images of germplasm
Germplasm inventory
Request for germplasm and
order fulfillment
and much more …

Typically set up in a networked environment, GG can also run stand-alone on a single PC
Option 1. Networked
Option 2. Stand-alone PC
The entire GG suite of apps installed on one PC
Client apps installed on each PC; server apps on the remote server
Local host

8. GRIN-Global – Open Source
Because GRIN-Global has been developed with open source software and its source code will be available(May 2016), Genebanks can tailor GRIN-Global to meet their specific requirements.

10. So, What is GRIN-Global? Software ( set of programs).
A tool: enables genebanks to store and manage their plant genetic resouces (PGR) information.
Curator tool
Search tool
Public Website with Shopping cart
GG updater
Admin tool

11. Curator Tool (CT)
The Curator Tool is a GRIN-Global application designed primarily for curators and genebank workers creating and managing their genebank’s data

12. Curator Tool - List for managing your work
Users create lists as desired to organize database records.

13. Curator Tool (CT).. Orders

14. Curator Tool (CT).. Reports

15. Search Tool (ST)
Used by genebank staff to locate their records.

16. Public Website
Through the Public Website, clientele can search the GG database, access germplasm information, and order germplasm through a “shopping cart facility.”

17. Public Website..Manages stored images

18. Public Website..Tracks accession observations

19. Public Website..Associates data with Google Maps

20. Public website..Export feature
Users can search for records from the Public Website and then easily download the information

21. Public website..Export feature
Exporting phenotypic data

22. Public website..Shopping Cart feature

23. Admin Tool (AT)
..handles diverse functions including managing user accounts and permissions; importing data; and creating and editing dataviews used by the Curator Tool and the GG Public Website .

24. GRIN-Global Updater
The GRIN-Global program updater is used to install the server GG components.
