Database creation plants of the legume family (Fabaceae) in the flora of Belgorod areas

The development of information technologies in Russia makes it possible to organize, preserve, systematize and collect large amounts of data into electronic databases for various purposes. Based on the analysis of a large volume of field research, the authors have developed an MS Access database for plants of the Fabaceae family of the Belgorod region. The Microsoft Office software package includes the Microsoft Access program (MS Access), designed to create databases, store, process and quickly access the necessary information. The review of methodological approaches used to create a database of species and genera of the legume family (Fabaceae), common in the flora of the Belgorod region, is given. The developed database makes it easier to find valuable source forms for the selection of legumes resistant to biotic and abiotic environmental factors.
