The document summarizes the activities of the IBP Data Management team from October 2014. It discusses the migration of several crop databases to the new IBDB v2 system, including maize, sorghum, cassava, beans, chickpeas, groundnuts, rice, wheat, and poplar data. It also covers the documentation of additional crop traits, establishment of databases for new crops like lentils and soybeans, and development of a data import tool to load historical datasets. Finally, it discusses the reorganization of database scripts to standardize data handling across crops.

1. IBP Data Management
Status
IBP DM Team
Presenter – Arllet M. Portugal
October 2014

2. Major Activities
 Migration of databases to IBDB v2
 Documentation of Other Traits
 Establishment of other crop databases
 Development of Data Import Tool with
Leafnode for loading data
 Re-organization of the crop DB scripts in
preparation for different kinds of crop DB
installers

3. Migration of Databases
 Evaluation data from Maize Finder were
migrated to IBDB v2 maize crop DB
 Australia-India Molecular Breeding Project
(AIMBP) Database (Project central and Univ of
Sydney local)
 Sorghum RI phenotyping data (P114 in 2010 &
P118 in 2011) reloaded
 Cassava RI Database managed by NRCRI

4.  Tropical Legumes 1 – Beans (28 datasets)
 Tropical Legumes 1 - Chickpea (around 15
datasets) re-loaded by Prasad Peteti
 ICRISAT Groundnut – migration of 12
international trials & 14 post-rainy datasets from
Agrobase to IBDB v2
Migration of Databases

5. Migration of databases
 Rice RI database – updated by Ibnou Dieng
 Wheat RI, China data loaded using the Data
Import
 Wheat RI, India (1 Excel file for 2011-2012 and 5
excel files for 2012-2013 with multiple sheets ) –
in the process of loading
 MAGIC Population S4 Phenotype– loaded using
the Data Import

6. Documentation of Other Traits
 Complementary Traits for the following crops:
 Cassava, chickpea, common bean, cowpea
 Groundnut, maize, sorghum, soybean, wheat
 Traits from Crop Ontology for the following crops
 Sweet potato, potato, yam
 pigeon pea, barley

7. Establishment of Other
Crop Databases
 Crop databases are already created for
 Lentil
 Soybean
 Pearl Millet
 Crop databases to be available for
 Sweet Potato
 Potato
 Barley
 Pigeon Pea
 Yam

8. Data Import Tool
 A tool to import historical dataset

9. Re-organization of the Crop DB
scripts
 One script for Common terms used by all crops
which consist of traits common to all crops and
terms needed by BMS
 Script for crop specific traits
 Script for germplasm information from the CG
center
 Script for evaluation data from CG centers
 Script for genotyping data generated through
GCP projects and IBP genotyping service

10. Other IBP DM Team Members
 Graham McLaren
 Clarissa Pimentel
 Julian Pietragalla
 Ma. Teresa Ulat
 Corina Habito
 Fernando Rojas
