Page scope

Genesys is about Genesys, the Crop Trust's portal to the passport data of gene bank accessions: who runs and funds it, how data reach it, how it is searched, its terms of use and what it lists for Cannabis.

Sourcing

Genesys's history, funding, terms and documentation come from its own pages and from the Crop Trust, which manages it. They are the portal's account of itself. The counts come from the portal's search and carry their date. Discuss attribution, independent sourcing and any claim that has lost its attribution here.

Terms of use

Genesys's terms forbid passing its data on to other users. Passport records from the portal are therefore not reproduced here. Counts are given with the date of the search, each cited to the portal.

Counts

Genesys counts current accessions and historic records apart. The 2,151 Cannabis accessions are current. The 53 historic records are of material that their gene banks no longer keep. Status and origin are as each holder gives them in its passport data.

Geneva in two catalogues

On 13 November 2026 Genesys listed 569 Cannabis accessions for the Plant Genetic Resources Unit at Geneva, New York (USA003). GRIN-Global, the unit's own catalogue, listed 696 there the same day. Genesys receives the unit's data through the National Plant Germplasm System. The two figures overlap and cannot be added.

Size

Genesys calls itself the world's largest portal to information on crop diversity conserved in gene banks. It puts its holdings at about half of the estimated number of gene bank accessions in the world. Both are its own estimates.
