the current BOLD project<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\nObreza and Shaw envisage a future where crop breeders can move seamlessly between Genesys and Germinate. \u201cAt the moment, Germinate stores simple web links to Genesys for plant lines, so a user can jump between systems,\u201c explains Shaw. \u201cBut what we would really like to see is for Germinate users to be able to add germplasm they have found to a shopping cart within Germinate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis shopping cart could then tell you if stocks are available through Germinate interacting with Genesys behind the scenes,\u201d he says. \u201cIdeally, users could then post requests for germplasm directly to genebanks for consideration and fulfilment, without ever having to switch between platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s scope for synergies on the Genesys side of things too, according to Obreza. Future versions of Genesys may be able to query Germinate on whether it contains any additional information on specific lines, which it could then point its users to.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have already started discussing how we can improve the links between our tools, which really would give any users of germplasm a great way to explore data and find exactly what they are looking for,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe challenge for Genesys would be to link to the many different breeding information systems in use today,\u201d says Obreza, \u201cbut luckily there is the Breeding API<\/a> (BrAPI) standard, which most of them, including Germinate, implement.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nWritten by: <\/strong>Kiri Marker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Across almost all industry and research domains, it is becoming increasingly evident that the faster we can share data, the faster we can collaboratively invent new solutions and products.
