Ambiguous germplasm identification; difficulty in tracing pedigree information; and lack of integration between genetic resources, characterization, breeding, evaluation, and utilization data are constraints in developing knowledge-intensive crop improvement programs. To address these constraints, the International Crop Information System (www.icis.cgiar.org), a database system for the management and integration of global information on genetic resources and crop improvement for any crop, was developed by genetic resource specialists, crop scientists, and information technicians associated with the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research and collaborative partners. The International Rice Information System (www.iris.irri.org) is the rice (Oryza species) implementation of the International Crop Information System. New components are now being added to the International Rice Information System to handle the diversity of rice functional genomics data including genomic sequence data, molecular genetic data, expression data, and proteomic information. Users access information in the database through stand-alone programs and Web interfaces, which offer specialized applications and customized views to researchers with different interests.
种质鉴定不明确；谱系信息追溯困难；以及遗传资源、特征描述、育种、评价和利用数据之间缺乏整合，这些都是发展知识密集型作物改良计划的制约因素。为解决这些制约因素，国际作物信息系统（www.icis.cgiar.org）由与国际农业研究磋商组织相关的遗传资源专家、作物科学家和信息技术人员以及合作伙伴共同开发，它是一个用于管理和整合任何作物的遗传资源及作物改良全球信息的数据库系统。国际水稻信息系统（www.iris.irri.org）是国际作物信息系统在水稻（稻属物种）方面的具体应用。目前正在为国际水稻信息系统添加新的组件，以处理水稻功能基因组学数据的多样性，包括基因组序列数据、分子遗传数据、表达数据和蛋白质组学信息。用户通过独立程序和网络界面访问数据库中的信息，这些程序和界面为不同兴趣的研究人员提供专门的应用程序和定制视图。
