Welcome to T3/Barley
The Triticeae Toolbox (T3) is the web portal for data generated by the Triticeae Coordinated Agricultural
Project (T-CAP), funded by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) of the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). It also contains data from US Uniform Regional Nurseries, supported by
the US Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative. The database was initially developed as The Hordeum Toolbox (THT)
at the website hordeumtoolbox.org to hold barley data generated by the Barley CAP project (2006-2010).
T3 Barley is an extension of The Hordeum Toolbox and incorporates all the THT data. The database was
further developed at the website triticeaetoolbox.org/barley.
That website was archived in June 2020 and all the data moved to this current site.

Future Workshops
We're collecing names and emails of those that are interested in attending future T3/Breedbase workshops
on various topics such as using Android Field Book, Seedlots, Barcodes, or any other topic you may be interested
in learning more about. Fill out the Virual Workshop Interest Form
if you may be interested in attending a future workshop. Once we have enough interest in a particular topic, we'll
reach out to everyone to schedule a date.

Annual Summary

Annual Summary Report
Phenotype data can be submitted to T3/Barley in two ways:
Submitting files directly to us
If you have upload templates that you think are properly formatted or data files that
are not formatted as upload templates, you can submit the files directly to use for
inclusion in the production site by submitting them to us through the
Phenotype Submission Form.
Phenotype Submission Form
Using the Sandbox
When using the sandbox, you create upload templates that contain the trial information. Then,
you upload those templates to the Sandbox to check for any errors. When the trial has been
successfully added you can use the Submit Trial function to submit the trial directly
to us for inclusion in the production site. Visit the T3/Barley Sandbox
for more information.
Visit the T3/Barley Sandbox
If you have genotype data you would like to submit to T3/Barley, please
use the Genotype Submission Form. This will ask you some questions
about the data and then you can upload a VCF file of the data. We'll make sure the file
is properly formatted, the correct genotype protocol is used for the data, and add the genotype
data to the database.

Upload Templates
Blank Upload Templates
Below are blank upload templates for each data type.
Sample Templates
Generate a set of sample templates for new accessions, locations, trials, and trait observations. These templates
contain all new data in properly formatted templates that can be used to practice uploading each data type
to the sandbox.
Example Templates
Below are example templates generated for demo wheat trials from a 2020 workshop.
You can use these files to see how the templates are properly formatted.
Submission
Use the Phenotype Submission Form to submit your data to the curators for inclusion in T3/Barley.

T3/Barley Data Usage Policy
In 2009 the Toronto International Data Release Workshop agreed on a policy statement about prepublication data sharing.
Accordingly, the data producers are making many of the datasets in T3/Barley available prior to publication
of a global analysis. Guidelines for appropriate sharing of these data are given in the excerpt from the Toronto Statement.
More information is available on the data usage policy page.
I agree to the Data Usage Policy as specified in Toronto Statement.
