Abstract:

    This study aims to establish an information system for the wild relatives of Taiwan's horticultural crops with geographic information system, providing an access to geographic information and characteristics data. The WebGIS software developers take advantage of the system architecture to construct geographic information databases, as well as the basic characteristics of the species images and information. Currently the system has included 200 species in 44 families of the wild relatives of horticultural crops. The geographical distribution of digital data and information can facilitate the inquiry and utilization of the wild relatives of horticultural crops for researchers, farmers and others. It is expected that this system can help to conserve and sustain the utilization of genetic resources of horticultural crops in Taiwan.

Key words:Wild relatives of horticultural crops, Genetic resources, Geographic information system
