Dataset for: Trait dictionary and ontology include the gender-responsive scoring methods used by the Participatory variety selection (PVS) protocol of potato and is available in the Crop-Ontology platform for use by CIP trial management system

The Potato ontology with PVS traits and scoring methods provide a common set of standardized variables for institutions, trainers and facilitators involved in PVS. This ontology is based on the protocol: "Participatory Varietal Selection of Potato (PVS)" developed by the International Potato Center (CIP). In this context, the ontology terms were gathered from farmers and presented: traits, descriptions, methodologies, valid ranges and scales using a standardized template (from the Crop Ontology web page: cropontology.org/).

Finally, this information was curated by breeders and researchers at CIP: The PVS ontology has been integrated with the ontologies available for potato in the CO page. In total, the presented variables for PVS are 45 new variables. It includes: morphological traits (9), agronomic traits (16), biotic stress trait (9), abiotic stress traits (5) and quality traits (6).
