4. ConclusionandFutureWork ThisworkshowsthatFIGSapproachthroughmachinelearningalgorithmswereefficient infinding environmental signals for the characterization traitsmeasured as part of con- servation efforts doneby the ICARDAgenebank.Thehighpredictability ofmodels for all traitswas used later in predicting the non-evaluated accessions hold at ICARDA to assign probabilities for the characterization traits to accessions and stored in ICARDA genebank database and used as predictive characterization. This will assist genebank managersat ICARDAonreplyingmoreprecisely toseedrequests fromusers.Thiswork will be enhanced by usingmolecularmarkers techniques to finetune further FIGS ap- proach.
