A quick intro to using the Germinate finger millet database developed with the support of the Crop Trust Crop Wild Relatives project and the Templeton Foundation.

You can access the database here https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/cwr/fingermillet and we will expand the datasets in the coming months with new phenotypic data.

This work was undertaken as part of the initiative “Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Collecting, Protecting and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives”, which is supported by the Government of Norway. The project is managed by the Global Crop Diversity Trust with the Millennium Seed Bank of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and implemented in partnership with national and international genebanks and plant breeding institutes around the world. For further information, see the project website: http://www.cwrdiversity.org. The authors also gratefully acknowledge funding from the Scottish Government’s Rural and Environmental Science and Analytical Services (RESAS) division, Scottish Environment Food and Agriculture Research Institutes (SEFARI), the International Barley Hub (IBH) and the Templeton World Charity Foundation, Inc.
