Genebanks contain collections of most crop species and their wild relatives, which are used for crop improvement and other research purposes, as well as to safeguard novel varieties for the future. Efficient use and maintenance of genebanks relies on a range of information types, which vary widely in quantity and quality both within and between crop species. For example, in some species, researchers have characterized varieties in detail at the DNA level, while other species have no associated genetic information. Some species have been thoroughly evaluated for growth and productivity characteristics, while other species have not. For some species, all plants or seeds within a sample are uniform, while other species have samples where every plant or seed is unique. This complicates information management. Describing and understanding the complexity of information in genebanks from a stakeholder/user perspective, as well as from the collection management perspective, can help make genebank collections more valuable for all.
