Example: 0762510W Example: 076----W
Elevation of collecting site expressed in meters above sea level. Negative values are allowed.
Example: 763
Collecting date of the sample as YYYYMMDD. Missing data (MM or DD) should be indicated with hyphens. Leading zeros are required.
Example: 1968---- Example: 20020620
FAO Institute Code of the institute that has bred the material.
The coding scheme proposed can be used at 3 different levels of detail: either by using the general codes (in boldface) such as 100, 200, 300, 400 or by using the more specific codes such as 110, 120 etc. Check http://ww3.bgbm.org/MCPDH/EuriscoDescriptors#20
Information about either pedigree or other description of ancestral information (i.e. parent variety in case of mutant or selection).
Example: Hanna/7*Atlas//Turk/8*Atlas Example: mutation found in Hanna Example: selection from Irene Example: cross involving amongst others Hanna and Irene
The coding scheme proposed can be used at 2 different levels of detail: either by using the general codes (in boldface) such as 10, 20, 30, 40 or by using the more specific codes such as 11, 12 etc. Check http://ww3.bgbm.org/MCPDH/EuriscoDescriptors#22
FAO Institute Code for the donor institute.
Number assigned to an accession by the donor.
Example: NGB1912
Any other identification (numbers) known to exist in other collections for this accession. Use the following system: INSTCODE:ACCENUMB;INSTCODE:ACCENUMB;… INSTCODE and ACCENUMB follow the standard described above and are separated by a colon. Pairs of INSTCODE and ACCENUMB are separated by a semicolon without space. When the institute is not known, the number should be preceded by a colon.
Example: NLD037:CGN00254 Example: SWE002:NGB1912;:Bra2343
FAO Institute Code of the institute where a safety duplicate of the accession is maintained. The codes consist of the 3-letter ISO 3166 country code of the country where the institute is located plus a number.
If germplasm is maintained under different types of storage, multiple choices are allowed (separated by a semicolon). (Refer to FAO/IPGRI Genebank Standards 1994 for details on storage type.) Check http://ww3.bgbm.org/MCPDH/EuriscoDescriptors#27
The remarks field is used to add notes or to elaborate on descriptors with value 99 or 999 (=Other). Prefix remarks with the field name they refer to and a colon. Separate remarks referring to different fields are separated by semicolons without space.
Example: COLLSRC:roadside
Brief name and location of the collecting institute. Only to be used if COLLCODE can not be used since the FAO Institution Code for this institute is not (yet) available.
Example: Tuinartikelen Jan van Zomeren, Arnhem, The Netherlands
Brief name and location of the breeding institute. Only to be used if BREDCODE can not be used since the FAO Institution Code for this institute is not (yet) available.
Example: CFFR from Chile
Brief name and location of the donor institute. Only to be used if DONORCODE can not be used since the FAO Institution Code for this institute is not (yet) available.
Example: Nelly Goudwaard, Groningen, The Netherlands
Brief name and location of the institute maintaining the safety duplicate. Only to be used if DUPLSITE can not be used since the FAO Institution Code for this institute is not (yet) available.
Example: Pakhoed Freezers inc., Paramaribo, Surinam
URL linking to additional data about the accession either in the holding genebank or from another source.
Example: [www.cgn.wageningen-ur.nl/pgr/collections/passdeta.asp?accenumb=CGN04848]
A concatenated scientific name given as the result of the unit identification, preferrably formed in accordance with a Code of Nomenclature as fully as possible (i. e. a monomial, bionomial, or trinomial plus author[s] or author team[s] and - where relevant - year, or the full name of a cultivar or cultivar group, or a hybrid formula or named hybrid).
A unique identifier for the unit record within the data source. The unit ID should provide the key by which a specimen or specimen component can be identified.
Preferrably, the unit ID should be stable in the database, so that it also can be used to find the same record again (e.g. for data exchange purposes). The unit ID constitutes the third part of the globally unique record identifier.
Equivalent to an accession number which is unique inside the collection; if this is the case, the accession number should be entered both here and under AccessionNumber.
The name or code of the data source (this is unique within the institution and constitutes the second part of the record identifier).
The source ID may be the name of a colletion if all records stem from a single collection. Together with the element Source-Institution-Code, Source-Name provides a unique identifier for the dataset's original source.
