What is a cross?
- The Cross Tool can track any pollinations in a breeding program.
- Each cross has a globally unique cross id.
- Supported cross types are: biparental, self, open, backcross, sib, polycross, bulk, bulk_self, bulk_open, doubled_haploid, or dihaploid_induction
- For an open pollinated cross, the cross can be defined as between female accession A and male population P1 (populations in the database are defined strictly as groups of accessions). If the male parent is not known, it can be left blank.
- For backcross cross type, cross unique id can be used as one of the parents.
- An individual cross can be linked to the specific female plot or plant, as well as to the specific male plot or plant.
- A cross can have other data associated to it, such as number of flowers, pollination date, etc.
- Seed produced by a cross can be managed using a seedlot.
- Progenies from a cross can become named accessions in the database.
Select a crossing experiment

Crossing experiments are for grouping crosses together. The grouping is most often done for crosses derived from the same field trial, the same year, or for crosses that have the same breeding objective.

What are crossing experiments?

Crossing experiments group crosses. The grouping can reflect crosses done in the same field trial, crosses in a breeding program in a given year, or crosses that have the same breeding objective. This grouping can be used to encapsulate all the crosses done in a crossing block field trial that you have saved in the database (e.g. in Manage Trials your crossing block will appear as a field trial with plots)

Introduction

This workflow will guide you through the process of creating seedlots from the accessions in a field trial. You can create one new seedlot for each plot or unique accession in the trial. You can also set the initial contents (count or weight) of the seedlot as the value of a recorded trait from the trial.
Select a Field Trial

Enter the name of the field trial from which to create the seedlots:

Trial:
Select Seedlots

Seedlots can be generated from either each accession or plot or subplot or plant in this trial.
- If you select accessions: seedlots will be created
- If you select plots: seedlots will be created
- If you select subplots: seedlots will be created
- If you select plants: seedlots will be created
Name Seedlots

Enter a template for naming each new seedlot. The following variables (surrounded by curly braces) can be used in the template and the value of that variable will be replaced.
- trial_name
- accession_name
- plot_name
- plot_number
- rep
- block
- subplot_name
- subplot_index
- plant_name
- plant_index
- index - an incrementing index number, starting with 1

Seedlot Names

Set Seedlot Contents

Each seedlot needs to have its initial contents (either a count or a weight) set. You can either set the same initial value for each seedlot, use the value from one of the traits recorded for this trial, or compute a new value from the recorded traits for this trial. If you are creating a seedlot for each accession and select a trait or a computed value as their initial value, then the sum of the trait values for each of the accession's plots will be used. The contents of each seedlot can be modified in the table below before its creation.

Contents Value:

Constant:

Trait:

Trait Variables:

Use the following variables as substitutions for the trait values to compute a new value for the initial seedlot contents. If you are creating one seedlot per plot, then the single plot trait value will be used in the computation. If you are creating one seedlot per accession, then the sum of the trait values for each plot of that accession will be used in the computation.
