The JIRCAS-Erianthus database is open-access database providing information relating to the morphological and agronomic characteristics of Erianthus germplasm in Thailand. These germplasms were collected and characterized as part of the JIRCAS sugarcane breeding project conducted by JIRCAS and the Khon Kaen Field Crops Research Center in Thailand. This database was developed to enhance the utilization of the wide genetic diversity of Erianthus germplasm for the purposes of sugarcane breeding, research work, and biomass utilization in Thailand and other countries.

The “Thai Local Vegetables  Database” was originally compiled and published on the web in 2010 by the collaborative research team of Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), The Institute of Food Research and Product Development (IFRPD)  of Kasetsart University, the World Vegetable Center-East and Southeast Asia Regional Office and National Food Research Institute of Japan. Its purpose is to add new value to local agricultural products, with the aspiration that the database on Thai local vegetables will contribute to local agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries while providing safe and healthy food for the global population.
