International Rice Information System (IRIS) is the rice implementation of the International Crop Information System (ICIS) which is a database system that provides integrated management of global information on genetic resources and crop cultivars. It includes germplasm pedigrees, field evaluations, genetic (QTL) maps, structural and functional genomic data and environmental (GIS) data. IRIS has been designed to be able to handle multi language information, and more than 3000 Chinese varieties with Chinese name and other related information have been stored in the central database. Users can access information in the database through stand alone programs or WWW interfaces offering specialist views to researchers with different interests.
