Welcome to T3/Barley
This is the SANDBOX site for T3/Barley. The Sandbox can be used to test the
addition of new data to T3/Barley. Data added to this site will be periodically cleared and
reset to match the main production version of T3/Barley. For more information on adding data to the
Sandbox and submitting it to the production site, see the submitting data sections below.
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 Report
To submit phenotype data to T3/Barley follow these three general steps:
Step 1: Create Upload Templates
Data submitted to T3/Barley should be in the format of the upload
template for the data type you are submitting.
View the detailed upload instructions
for specific information on each data type.
Step 2: Add Data to Sandbox
Once you have your upload templates, you can test-load them on this Sandbox site
to check for any errors.
Step 3: Submit Trial Data
If your trial data has been successfully added to the Sandbox you can submit your trials
directly to the production site by clicking the Submit Trial button on
the trial detail page of each trial you want to submit OR you can create a list of multiple
trials to submit and submit them all at once from the Submit Multiple
Trials page.
If your data has not been added to the Sandbox or if you would prefer to submit your files
directly to the production site, you can submit your individual upload templates or data files to us
using the Phenotype Submission Form.
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.
- Generate your set of sample templates
- Follow the Guided Phenotype Upload Workflow to upload the template for each data type
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.

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.
