Perform a basic search
A basic search lets you find germplasm using parameters, input lists, or conditions. Let’s start your first basic search!
Search using query parameters
From the Germplasm tool, locate the Query Parameters section on the upper section of the page.
Provide the germplasm names of the values that you want to search for. You can enter multiple values separated by commas. You may also use the wildcard ( % ) symbol if you don’t know the exact germplasm name (e.g. IRRI %).
Specify the germplasm type by selecting from the dropdown menu.
You only need to provide one parameter to search for germplasm.
For users that belong to more than one crop program, they can select the crop type from the dropdown menu.
Afterward, click Find to execute your query.
Once the results have finished loading, you can manage your results or use additional search parameters.
Perform a search using additional search parameters
You can perform an additional search to improve your germplasm search. You will be provided two options - Input List or Add Condition. You may choose one or both.
Search using an input list
From the Query Parameters section, click on Additional Search Parameters > Input List.
The Input List modal window will show three blank fields - the (1) name type selection, the (2) input field, and the (3) saved lists menu.
Click on the Designation drop-down field to specify whether the values provided refer to the designation or other germplasm name types.
Provide your search values in the input field, which is the blank field to the right of the Designation dropdown field.
If you have a saved germplasm list, you can import the germplasm names by locating the saved list from the menu on the left.
Click on the left side of your list to import the list values into the input field.
Once satisfied, click Confirm to save your search parameters.
You can repeat the process above or click Find to execute your search.
Search using conditions
From the Query Parameters section, click on Additional Search Parameters > Add Condition.
It will show a new search parameter that contains the (1) filter type and (2) condition. You may refer to the drop-down lists below for their value choices.
Afterward, provide the values on the blank field on the right and separate them with commas. You may click the Add Condition button again to add more parameters.
Once satisfied, click Find to execute your search.
