The search field accepts scientific plant names, i. e. names of genera or Brassicaceae tribes.

Examples:

  • Camelineae — will find information about all member genera of tribe Camelineae.
  • Arabidopsis — will find information about the genus Arabidopsis.

After having typed 3 characters, you'll be provided with suggestions from the database.

Manual

A search in the germplasm and material collection's database according to your search terms is performed. You can filter for the material type of interest by clicking the appropriate checkboxes.

In the result table you can further narrow your search by giving a keyword in the field on the upper right. Click on column headers to choose a sorting column.

Search terms can include names of Brassicaceae tribes, resulting in reported data from all tribe representatives.

The search can be performed on different taxonomical levels, but not for the whole (family-wide) data set. The default search provides any material, but with the selection of various types of material (seeds, vouchers, etc.) you can select for the level of documentation actually available for the material searched for.

Seed material was generated via cross-pollination (for self-incompatible but also for self-compatible species). Seed material was harvested on the individual level and kept separate. We do not distribute “bulked seed samples” from different mother plants.

Brassicaceae Material Collection

As more and more taxa of Brassicaceae are becoming models for plant biology (e.g., Koch & German, 2013), availability of relevant material is a matter of increasing importance. The BrassiBase Material Collection (seeds, herbarium specimens, silica-dried leaf material) represent ~ 300 species covering all major evolutionary lineages within the family and about 40 of 52 currently recognized tribes. The accessions are mostly of wild origin and most often genome size and chromosome number data are provided. This resource has been available upon indivudal request only.

Free access to and asking for seed/leaf material was restricted to research groups within the DFG priority program SPP1529 and all stock orders required the acceptance of rules and regulations of CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity).

We apologize that we cannot serve as a publicly accessible germplasm resource, but we are happy to provide advice and help with further information.

The search field accepts scientific plant names, i. e. names of genera or Brassicaceae tribes.

Examples:

  • Arabideae — will find information about all member genera of tribe Arabideae.
  • Arabis — will find information about the genus Arabis.
  • Arabis alpina — search results will be limited to the given species only.

After having typed 3 characters, you'll be provided with suggestions from the database.

You can also decide if you want to include synonyms into your search. Registered users can filter their search for the availability of different types of material.
