The S-9 Plant Germplasm Collection maintains and distributes germplasm of various horticultural crops, including pepper (Capsicum spp.), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), okra (Abelmoschus spp.), eggplant (Solanum melongena), miscellaneous Solanum spp., sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas spp.), luffa (Luffa spp.), gourds (Lagenaria and Momordica spp.), squash (Curcurbita moschata), pumpkin (Curcurbita maxima), marigold (Tagetes spp.), Stokes' aster (Stokesia laevis), hibiscus (Hibiscus spp.), Engelman daisy (Engelmannia pinnatifolia), pampasgrass (Cortaderia selloana), ornamental bamboo (Bambusa spp.), and other ornamental grasses. Seed or other propagules of these plant materials are available for research purposes. Detailed information on individual collections and general information on the USDA National Plant Germplasm System will be presented.

The USDA-ARS National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) provides critical genetic resources to researchers and breeders worldwide. Users of the NPGS materials need access to data for genetic and descriptive characteristics of the plant materials. New tables and codes have been added to the Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) database to hold raw data relating to molecular markers and alleles. The revised tables accommodate multiple marker types; provide raw data for individuals; accept polyploid data; and provide a record of methods, standards, and control values. A long-term goal is to make the GRIN molecular tables fully interoperable with the National Center for Biotechnology Information database as well as bioinformatic databases (model organism and clade organism databases). The development of this capacity provides critical data infrastructure for future genotype–phenotype association studies and gene discovery.

The U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) currently holds 36 separate accessions of the `Yichang' clone of Malus hupehensis (Pamp.) Rehd. The `Yichang' clone originally entered the United States in 1908 as seed collected for the Arnold Arboretum by E.H. Wilson near Yichang, Hubei Province, China. The original description of M. hupehensis omits fruit characters, and botanists frequently augment these omissions with descriptions of the `Yichang' clone. Apomixis occurs in Malus, including M. hupehensis, and is strongly associated with elevated ploidy levels. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were used to characterize 65 accessions of M. hupehensis. To check for polyploidy, a set of M. hupehensis accessions was evaluated with flow cytometry. The simple sequence repeat phenotypes and ploidy information revealed the `Yichang' clone under various accession names in arboreta. It was neither known nor suspected that the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System held many duplicate accessions of the `Yichang' clone prior to their molecular characterization. Germplasm conservation decisions for Malus species can benefit from an increased knowledge of the genetic variation or lack thereof in naturalized populations and ex situ collections.
