Image collection from unmanned arial and ground vehicles (UAVs and UGVs) are a great way to collect a lot of raw data all at once, then analyze it later. ImageBreed is a image collection pipeline tool to support regular use of UAVs and UGVs. When the raw images have been processed through the standardization pipelines in ImageBreed, useful phenotypes can be extracted from the images. The BrAPI standard is used to push these phenotypes back to a central breeding database where they can be analyzed with other data. In addition to this, ImageBreed also has the option to use BrAPI to upload the raw images to the central breeding database, or any other BrAPI compatible long term storage service. The BrAPI models in the current version of the standard (V2.1) are rudimentary, but effective. The ImageBreed team has put in some work to enhance the BrAPI image data standards. + +#### GridScore + +Phenotypic data collection underpins scientific crop research and plant breeding. Knowledge gained from collected data and its analysis alongside data visualizations inform further phenotypic trials and ideally support research hypotheses. The importance of accuracy and efficiency in the collection of this data as well as the infrastructure to facilitate the flow of data from the field to a knowledge base cannot be underestimated. [GridScore](https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/get-gridscore/) [@doi:10.1186/s12859-022-04755-2] is a modern mobile application for phenotypic observations that harnesses technological advancements in the area of mobile devices to enrich the data collection process. + +BrAPI has further increased the value of GridScore by integrating it into the overarching workflow from trial creation, data collection, and its ultimate data storage for further processing. Specifically, trial designs as well as trait definitions can be imported into GridScore using BrAPI and a finalized trial can ultimately be exported via BrAPI to any compatible database. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/03.02.data-management.md b/content/03.02.data-management.md index a2ee1db..9304268 100644 --- a/content/03.02.data-management.md +++ b/content/03.02.data-management.md @@ -63,4 +63,7 @@ BIMS (Breeding Information Management System) [@doi:10.1093/database/baab054] is #### Germinate -Germinate is a combination breeding database and germplasm management database. + +[Germinate](https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/get-germinate/) [@doi:10.1002/csc2.20248] is an open-source plant genetic resources database that combines and integrates various kinds of plant breeding data including genotypic data, phenotypic trials data, passport data, images, geographic information and climate data into a single repository.
