By streamlining data processes and ensuring accurate information retrieval, this project will contribute to the efficient preservation and utilization of valuable plant genetic diversity. It is essential to invest in this infrastructure to support research, breeding programs, and conservation efforts aimed at addressing current and future agricultural challenges. Also to ensure the conservation and sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources by providing access to genetic materials to researchers, breeders, and farmers.
