Inventory
When plant material enters the genebank, it is divided for storage under different conditions and in various locations. The system primarily manages and tracks these individual lots.
As described in the accession data section, an accession record captures passport data when material enters the genebank. The physical plant material is registered as a new inventory item; the system individually tracks the quantity and location of each item.
Inventory items represent germplasm in the collection, such as seed packets, field plants, or subcultured in vitro germplasm. Most genebank operations apply to physical plant material and are associated with the corresponding inventory item.
Inventory items with latitude and longitude coordinates can be viewed on the Map.
