 The Germplasm Accessions Importer is used for specific germplasm samples which are often maintained by genebanks. These accessions often serve as the seed source for various experiments and may also be used as parents in breeding crosses. Genebanks will generally maintain public passport data on these accessions, which is captured by this importer with the Genebank being specified as the "External Database". In addition to these passport data, this importer optionally collects BrAPI-suggested information such as breeding institution, breeding method, pedigree and synonyms where they are available and applicable.

+## Data Storage Model for Germplasm
+
+### Germplasm Accessions
+Germplasm accessions and their corresponding metadata are stored in the following chado tables: `stock`, `stockprop`, `stock_relationship`, `db`, `dbxref`, `synonym` and `stock_synonym`:
+
+- The organism of one accession is determined by the genus, species and subtaxa (optional)
+- Germplasm accessions are loaded into the table `stock`, 
+- The external database (eg: genebank) is stored in `dbxref` and `db`
+- Properties are loaded into the table `stockprop`
+- Synonyms are loaded into the tables `synonym`, `stock_synonym` and `stock_relationship`
+
+### Germplasm Crosses
+Germplasm crosses and their corresponding metadata are stored in the following chado tables: `stock`, `stockprop`, and `stock_relationship`:
+  
+- Germplasm crosses are loaded into the table `stock`
+- Properties for each germplasm are loaded into table `stockprop`
+- The relationship between germplasm and its parents is loaded into the table `stock_relationship`
