Field Definitions:

Wiki MarkupSample ID    A name, number or code that uniquely identifies this sample.  Only alphanumeric characters, dots, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. Stock Number    If your sample was drawn from a stock population, this field should uniquely identify that population.  For example, samples extracted from seed should be accompanied by their seed lot number, if known.  Only alphanumeric characters, dots, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.  Maximum 255 characters. Source Lab    The name of the laboratory from which the samples were submitted.  For example,    Buckler Laboratory or New York State Agricultural Experiment Station.  Only alphanumeric characters, dots, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.  Maximum 255 characters. Pedigree    A name, number or code that represents the pedigree of the sample.  For example, \[CML445/CML176\].  Any ASCII character is allowed. Kingdom    The biological kingdom of the sample.  For example, Plantae for the species Zea mays subsp. mays var. japonica.  Only letters, dots and hyphens are allowed. Phylum    The phylum of the sample.  Only letters, dots and hyphens are allowed. Class    The taxonomic class of the sample.  Only letters, dots and hyphens are allowed. Order    The taxonomic order of the sample.  Only letters, dots and hyphens are allowed.
