Abstract

Genebanks are collections of large germplasm, which are genetic resources providing the base foundation for plant breeding and crop improvement. The large number of samples collected in the genebank is challenging to manage, preserve, and assess the quality, and utilization for research studies. Subsampling the large collection into the core and mini-core collection reduces the complexity and smoothly and efficiently manages the genetic resource. The characterization and evaluation of the large gene pool in the gene bank for different corps were assessed with different criteria. In this chapter, the bioinformatics methods including the software tools, identifying the representative accessions through genetic markers, heterozygosity, k-mer analysis, genetic diversity, and relatedness used for developing various crop core collection sets were discussed. Later, such a core set can further be used for validation and will be utilized to develop a mini-core set to enhance the development of crop improvement.
