The Germplasm Collecting Missions Database provides access to information on all germplasm-collecting missions in which Bioversity has been involved. Summaries of all collecting missions undertaken since 1975 through to the present are stored.

The data include: species name (as identified by the collector), the number of samples for each species, when the collecting mission took place, the country of collection and whether the species was wild or cultivated. The database maintains coded names of each institute that received the collected germplasm.
