[Arabidopsis] Keeping track of arabidopsis seed stocks

[Forde, Brian]

Hi everyone

 

I'd be interested to find out what people think is the best way of
keeping track of their arabidopsis seed stocks from generation to
generation, recording harvest dates, phenotypes, and providing links to
parents and progeny - for example when performing a series of
backcrosses with a set of mutants. 

 

Is there specialised software available for this?

 

Any advice would be gratefully received.

 

Thanks a lot
