AgrobIS is an information system developed by MARDI to provide the public direct access to data of all biological genetic resources conserved at MARDI. The system once fully operational will contain germplasm information of more than 40,000 accessions of Plant Genetic Resource for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) which includes fruits, rice, vegetables, and medicinal plants. The system also consists of information on 2,500 isolates of microbial genetic resources and about 30,000 specimens of arthropods.
