A federated and curated metadata registry of agri-food datasets and data services

Genesys

GENESYS is a global portal to information about Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA). It is a gateway from which germplasm accessions from genebanks around the world can be easily found and ordered.

GENESYS is the result of collaboration between Bioversity International on behalf of System-wide Genetic Resources Programme of the CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research), the Global Crop Diversity Trust and the Secretariat of the International Treaty on the Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. By facilitating access to and use of PGRFA, GENESYS helps to secure its long-term conservation.
