COMPUTERIZED DATA PROCESSING AND CATALOGUING OF PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES

Abstract

Enormous information has accumulated over the past few
decades 01'1 germplasm of various crops and their wild relatives.
Awareness and importance of computerisation of database
information, loging, analysis and retrieval is increasing day by
day at national, regional and global levels. Various steps in
preparation of a catalogue vis-a-vis recording of data, and
duplication, verification, sorting, analysis, querying and listing
of data are discussed in this paper. Computer program based on
dBASE III Plus software for identification of duplicates as well
