Germplasm
Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) - In 1990, the U.S. Congress authorized establishment of a National Genetic Resources Program (NGRP). It is the NGRP's responsibility to: acquire, characterize, preserve, document, and distribute to scientist germplasm of all lifeforms important for food and agricultural production, and provide a continuous flow of genes from source to end use, a continuum that keeps high-yielding varieties on the market; improves the quality of agricultural products; minimizes production costs; reduces dependence on pesticides, thus enhancing the quality of the environment; and minimizes the vulnerability of agriculturally important germplasm to pests and environmental stresses. The GRIN web server provides germplasm information about plants, animals, microbes and invertebrates. This program is within the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service.
Plant Genetic Resources Unit, Cornell University, Geneva, NY. The USDA - ARS PGRU helps conserve and utilize genetic resources of apple, cold-hardy grape, tart cherry, and certain vegetable crops. The PGRU cooperates with other National Plant Germplasm System units, federal agencies, universities, international research programs, non-governmental organizations, and is located on the Geneva Campus of Cornell University.
