Our
wheat:gateway contains the most accurate data from various genebanks we could obtain in Feburary 2014 however it will not be regularly updated or maintained. The information is therefore merely a guide. You need to verify any data of special interest to you by following the contact information for individual genebanks, in particular by searching the "genebank URL" where this is provided.
The majority of genebanks are committed to providing small samples of genebank material for purposes of research and education on request (usually via their website) usually for free, usually between 5g and 10g per accession requested. However response time and quality of sample sent can vary between genebanks.

'search genetics + name only'
searches with wild cards either side of your search term in name (where genetic data exists) and gene symbols data fields. Country of origin and species/subspecies can still be added plus showing of bunt trials data.
