Germinate is a generic plant genetic resources database and offers facilities to store both standard collection information and passport data along with more advanced data types such as phenotypic, genotypic and field trial data. Germinate was originally implemented in MySQL and Perl but is moving with version 3 to MySQL and Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Germinate is not a standalone desktop application and requires MySQL, Apache Tomcat and GWT to run. The usual use case would be installation on a Linux based server.
Germinate is free and we envisage that the use of these technologies will enable us and other groups to develop a range of standard interfaces and analytical tools to interact with the underlying database that is free to distribute to interested parties.
