农作物野生近缘种的保护和利用是确保粮食安全、提高当前农业产量的重要组成部分。通过识别对育种者目前未使用的生物和非生物胁迫表现出有利反应的农业重要特征，将这种新的遗传物质纳入遗传背景种群可能有助于缓解气候变化、土地退化和人口压力造成的问题。这对于受到单产减少威胁影响更严重的国家尤其重要。有效管理遗传资源收藏和整合独特和多样化数据类型的能力对于探索、理解和利用基因库中包含的多样性至关重要。提供一个通用界面，通过该界面可以将实验和背景数据传播给研究人员和育种者，这将带来焦点并促进社区建设成为研究社区。我们采集了野生大麦 (Hordeum spp.) 和马铃薯 (Solanum spp.) 以及小麦 (Triticum spp.) 和玉米 (Zea mays subsp. mays) 及其野生近缘种，并将这些数据纳入使用 Germinate 平台构建的基于网络的信息资源中（https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/get-germinate，2017 年 4 月 4 日访问）。我们通过开发新的数据可视化工具以及与 Helium、Flapjack 和 CurlyWhirly（https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/software，2017 年 4 月 4 日访问）等当前软件的集成来定制这些工具，以更好地满足研究人员的需求，并在通用平台上呈现数据。虽然底层物种不同，但所采取的方法可确保工具在所有数据库实例之间兼容。我们将描述这些数据库实例，并表明 Germinate 提供了一个通用平台，有助于探索和更广泛地使用这些物种。
Conservation and exploitation of crop wild relative species is an important component in ensuring food security and improving current agricultural output. By identifying agriculturally important characteristics that express favorable response to both biotic and abiotic stress currently unused by breeders, the incorporation of this new genetic material into genetic background stocks may help mitigate problems imposed by climate change, land degradation, and population pressure. This is particularly important in countries that will be more severely affected by the threat of reduced yields. The ability to effectively manage genetic resources collections and integrate unique and diverse data types is crucial in exploring, understanding, and exploiting the diversity contained within gene-banks. Providing a common interface through which experimental and background data can be disseminated to both researchers and breeders will bring focus and facilitate community building into research communities. We have taken wild barley (Hordeum spp.) and potato (Solanum spp.) collections along with wheat (Triticum spp.) and maize (Zea mays subsp. mays) and their wild relatives and incorporated this data into web-based information resources built using the Germinate platform (https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/get-germinate, accessed 4 Apr. 2017). We have tailored these to better meet the demands of researchers by developing both new data visualization tools and integration with current software such as Helium, Flapjack, and CurlyWhirly (https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/software, accessed 4 Apr. 2017) and presented the data in a common platform. While the underlying species differ, the approach taken ensures that tools are compatible across all database instances. We will describe these database instances and show that Germinate offers a common platform that will aid in the exploration and wider use of these species.
