Searching by Traits and Observations

Use the Descriptors option on the main menu to search for accessions by their traits. The Public Website can display characteristic / evaluation data for any accessions whose observations have been recorded. While not all accessions will have been evaluated for certain characteristics, many are, and typically there are many observation records in a GRIN-Global database. Using the Descriptors option, you can find accessions by combining different criteria to fine tune your search results.

 

Follow three general steps:
