Abstract
This descriptor list has been prepared in an IBPGR standard
format following advice on descriptors and descriptor states
arising from a meeting held at ICARDA on May 10-11 1982, and
subsequently from crop experts throughout the world (see Appendix
I). The IBPGR encourages the collection of data on the first four
categories of this list; 1. Accession; 2. collection; 3. and 4.
Characterization and preliminary evaluation. The IBPGR endorses
The information in categories 1-4 is the minimum that ideally
should be available for anyone's accession. Other descriptors are
given in categories 5 onwards that will enable the simple encoding
of further characterization and evaluation data which can
serve as examples for the creation of additional descriptors in
the IBPGR form by any user.
Although the suggested coding should not be regarded as the
definitive scheme, this format has the full backing of the rBPGR
and is promoted worldwide. The descriptor list is given here
provides an international format and thereby produces a
universally understood 'language' for all plant genetic resources
data. The adoption of this scheme for all data encoding. or at
least the production of a transformation method to convert other
schemes to the IBPGR format will produce a rapid, reliable and
efficient means for information storage, retrieval and
communication. This will greatly assist the utilization of
germplasm throughout the international plant genetic resources
network. It is recommended, therefore, that information should be
produced by closely following this descriptor list with regard to:
ordering and numbering descriptors; using the descriptor
specified, and using the descriptor states recommended.
