This strategic set of descriptors, together with passport data, will become the basis for the global accession level information system being developed by the Bioversity-led project, Global Information on Germplasm Accessions (GIGA). It will facilitate access to and utilization of coconut accessions held in genebanks and does not preclude the addition of further descriptors, should data subsequently become available.Based on the comprehensive List of ‘Descriptors for Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)’ (IPGRI, 1995), and on the ‘Minimum List of descriptors for Coconut’ (Bioversity International, 2008), this first set of descriptors for coconut utilization was developed in consultation with coconut experts worldwide, and further refined by a Core Advisory Group (see ‘Contributors’).This minimal list defines a first priority set of characteristics and traits to describe, access and utilize Cocos genetic resources, particularly those related to biotic and abiotic stresses. A worldwide distribution of experts involved in the survey was assured and the list was afterwards validated by a group of scientists from CIRAD.Biotic and abiotic stresses included in the list were chosen because of their wide geographic occurrence and significant economic impact at the global level.All the observations and measurements should be done according to the Stantech Manual (IPGRI-COGENT Manual on Standardized Research Techniques in Coconut Breeding) technical specifications, available from: http://www.bioversityinternational.org/publications/Web_version/108/.A random sample of 30 normal palms should be taken. For quantitative descriptors, the values obtained are averaged and for qualitative ones the dominant types are listed.All dates must be in the form YYYYMMDD, where YYYY is the year in full, MM is the month and DD is the day. Leading zeroes are required, and missing data must be indicated by hyphens, thus: 20071206; 197812--; 197806--; 1978----.Numbers in parentheses on the right-hand side are the corresponding descriptor numbers listed in the 1995 descriptors. Descriptors with numbers ending in ‘X’ are new descriptors that were added during the development of the List below.

These descriptors aim to be compatible with IPGRI crop descriptor lists and with the descriptors used for the FAO World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) on plant genetic resources (PGR).   For each multi-crop passport descriptor, a brief explanation of content, coding scheme and suggested fieldname (in parentheses) is provided to assist in the computerized exchange of this type of data. It is recognized that networks or groups of users may want to further expand this MCPD List to meet their specific needs. As long as these additions allow for an easy conversion to the format proposed in the multi-crop passport descriptors, basic passport data can be exchanged worldwide in a consistent manner.  General comments:  • If a field allows multiple values, these values should be separated by a semicolon (;) without space(s), (i.e. Accession name:Rheinische Vorgebirgstrauben;Emma;Avlon).  • A field for which no value is available should be left empty (i.e. Elevation). If data are exchanged in ASCII format for a field with a missing numeric value, it should be left empty. If data are exchanged in a database format, missing numeric values should be represented by generic NULL values.  • Dates are recorded as YYYYMMDD. If the month and/or day are missing this should be indicated with hyphens. Leading zeros are required (i.e. 197506--, or 1975----). • Latitude and longitude are recorded in an alphanumeric format. If the minutes or seconds are missing, this should be indicated with hyphens. Leading zeros are required. •  Country names: Three letter ISO codes are used for countries.  The ISO 3166-1: Code List and the Country or the Country or area numerical codes added or changed are not available on-line, but can be obtained from IPGRI [ipgri-mcpd@cgiar.org] • For institutes the codes from FAO should be used. These codes are available from http://apps3.fao.org/wiews/ for registered WIEWS users. From the Main Menu select: ‘PGR’ and ‘Download’. If new Institute Codes are required, they can be generated online by national WIEWS administrators, or by the FAO WIEWS administrator [Stefano.Diulgheroff@fao.org]. • The preferred language for free text fields is English (i.e. Location of collecting site and Remarks).   MULTI-CROP PASSPORT DESCRIPTORS 1. Institute code (INSTCODE) Code of the institute where the accession is maintained. The codes consist of the 3-letter ISO 3166 country code of the country where the institute is located plus a number. The current set of Institute Codes is available from the FAO website (http://apps3.fao.org/wiews/). 2. Accession number (ACCENUMB) This number serves as a unique identifier for accessions within a genebank collection, and is assigned when a sample is entered into the genebank collection.  3. Collecting number (COLLNUMB) Original number assigned by the collector(s) of the sample, normally composed of the name or initials of the collector(s) followed by a number. This number is essential for identifying duplicates held in different collections.
