What is a stock?

A stock is a sample of corn that expresses a specific variation (or a specific small set of variations). Thus, stocks are living examples of variation data.

Why store stock data?

Storing stock data makes it easy for scientists interested in a particular variation or locus to find and acquire living tissue that contains this desired variation.
