Abstract
The UK Vegetable Genebank (UKVGB – https://warwick.ac.uk/gru/genebank) holds a collection of ~14,000 seed samples from a range of vegetable and herb crops. The collections include apiaceous crops such as carrot, parsnip and celery and herbs like coriander and parsley. Collections of plant genetic resources are conserved to ensure current and future access to crop genetic diversity. Genebanks like the UKVGB actively support utilisation by breeders, researchers and farmers but once samples are distributed, it is challenging to keep track of use and data generated. Data generated by users is a valuable resource to support future use, aiding selection of appropriate germplasm and reducing duplication of effort. We have tracked the use of our apiaceous crops through the scientific literature as part of our work to facilitate access by potential users of the collections to existing data. We examine how UKVGB germplasm has been used to screen for key traits as well as other investigations in areas such as domestication, phylogenetics and ecogeography, highlighting the vital role played by collections of plant genetic resources in plant and crop science.
