LEVERAGING THE USE OF HISTORICAL DATA GATHERED DURING SEED REGENERATION OF AN EX SITU GENEBANK COLLECTION OF WHEAT

Genebanks are a rich source of genetic variation.Most of this variation is absent in breeding programs but may hbl5266ca be useful for further crop plant improvement.However, the lack of phenotypic information forms a major obstacle for the educated choice of genebank accessions for research and breeding.A promising approach to fill this informatio
