Welcome to SINGER

The System-wide Information Network for Genetic Resources (SINGER) is the germplasm information exchange network of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and its partners.

Together, the members of SINGER hold more than half a million samples of crop, forage and tree diversity in their germplasm collections. This diversity is vital for food security and agricultural development; SINGER provides easy access to information about this diversity

SINGER is an initiative of the CGIAR System-wide Genetic Resources Programme (SGRP).

This website allows you to:
  • Search for information about the samples of crop, forage, and tree germplasm held in trust for the world
  • Learn more about using SINGER to access plant genetic diversity quickly and easily
  • Find out about SINGER’s background,vision and impacts.
