Big Data Utilisation in Wheat Genetic Resources
摘要
For many years, the decrease in plant genetic resources has been noticed by mankind and many studies have been initiated to protect species that are considered important. In genebank where biological diversity is preserved and protected for a long time, registered varieties, local varieties, and wild relatives are collected, stored, recorded, and made available to researchers. In addition, in order for end users to use the material efficiently, it must be characterised and documented in accordance with standards and the documents must be made available to end users. A strong information management system is required for the effective and secure operation of a genebank. This system should cover material acquisition, registration, storage conditions, collection types (basic collection, active collection, secure copy), monitoring the viability of accessions before and after storage, regeneration, characterisation, and evaluation processes. In addition, it is important to regularly record data on germplasm health tests, material distribution, and the number of subsamples and seed quantities of each accession held in the genebank. In order to adapt to the ever-increasing diversity and big data-driven nature of the modern research environment, it is of great importance that genebanks’ information systems are integrated with other data sources and made accessible over networks. Such integrations provide new information on plant genetic resources, thus increasing the usability of these resources and strengthening the scientific reputation of genebanks. For this big dataset, comprehensive studies in accordance with international standards are needed in the collection, preservation, characterisation, documentation, and use of genetic resources
