The Integrated Breeding Platform Portal provides access to crop information, tools, services, and capacity development opportunities for plant breeding. It houses databases, standalone and web-based tools for crop improvement, and supplementary tools from external developers. The portal also offers communities for collaboration and eLearning courses on topics like data management, analysis, intellectual property and tool use. Key issues include navigation, internet access, updating tools, data management, and community participation.
