What is POOL ? • Pedigree Of Oat Lines • relational database in Microsoft Access • database of pedigrees and background information of oat lines and cultivars • tool for breeders to find both the ancestry and descendants of oat lines • publicly accessible database with user friendly web interface
entities in POOL are “virtual” (this is where it differs from a gene bank) • the most complete collection of oat pedigree data and nomenclature in the world
Where is POOL? • Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 960 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C6 • http://avena.agr.gc.ca/ • A Curated Internet Database of Oat Pedigrees, N. Tinker and J. Deyl, Crop Sci. 45: 2269–2272
From where? BREEDING RESULTS: • cultivar registrations in North America, Australia, and Europe • breeders notes from different breeding programs • oat tests conducted in Americas • agricultural research & breeding institutions • university breeding programs
JOURNALS & PERIODICALS INCLUDING: • Crop Science, USA • Agronomy Journal, USA • Canadian Journal of Plant Science • Genome, Canada • Oat Newsletter, Americas • Plant Varieties Journal, Australia • Theoretical and Applied Genetic (TAG), International Journal of Plant Breeding Research
GENEBANKS: • Nordic Gene Bank, Sweden • European Avena Database, Germany • National Genetic Resources Program (NGRP), USA • AAFC Plant Gene Resources (PGRC), Canada • BBSRC Small Grain Cereal Collections, UK • Plant Genetic Resources Documentation (EVIGEZ), Czech Republic • N.I.
