The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) provides information about USDA national collections of animal, microbial, and plant genetic resources (germplasm) important for food and agricultural production.

Global food availability and security is based on intensive agricultural production. Over the past century, this intensification has relied heavily on producing crops with increasing genetic uniformity. Although these practices have benefits, they also include the risks of increasing the vulnerability of crops to pests, diseases, and environmental stress. Plant breeding and …

We have started to scan historical documents as PDFs to store in GRIN before they disintegrate. Reading each document to record which accession or inventory it refers to is a time-consuming process.

Digital imaging of fruits and leaves of the PI collection has begun and images are now available on GRIN. A core collection representing the early historical record for cultivated tomato breeding was approved by the Tomato CGC in 2003.
