The NE Si gel dataset refers to records of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium where associated collections of plant material dried on silica gel to preserve DNA for later extraction in molecular systematics and DNA fingerprinting studies of plants were made at the time of collection of the herbarium voucher. A record is kept of use of these samples, which are used for UNE and collaborative projects and generally made available upon request to the director. The collection includes more than 2,000 records.
The specimen sheet collection of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium is databased and available to registered users for online data entry and data query. Records include most standard herbarium label fields (see http://www.une.edu.au/herbarium/collecting.php) as used across Australia (e.g. http://www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/herbarium/collecting/field-note-book.html) including name, collector(s), locality and habitat. |
