ECPGR International Lactuca Database
|
http://documents.plant.wur.nl/cgn/pgr/ildb/
The necessity of a database for lettuce became apparent during the "Eucarpia Leafy Vegetable Meeting", June 1999 at Olomouc, Czech Republic. There it was shown that Lactuca is relatively well represented in genebanks, but that access to information on lettuce collections is not optimal and duplication between Lactuca collections is considerable (Hintum and Boukema 1999). During the ECPGR Vegetables Network Coordinating Group Meeting, Vila Real, Portugal, 26-27 May 2000, the necessity to create a Lactuca database was confirmed. The database concentrates in first instance on passport data of all Lactuca species of germplasm collections worldwide.

http://www.ihar.edu.pl/gene_bank/secale/secale.html
The first ECPGR Secale Working Group meeting was held in Jokioinen, Finland, August 1982. The Working Group designated the Polish Gene Bank as a crop germaplasm centre for rye and recommended collation of passport data from other European rye collections. The pioneer work carried out at the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute was edited under the auspices of the ECPGR Secretariat in 1984 by Jerzy Serwinski and Jan Konopka. During the meeting in Prague in 1994 in framework of the project "Technical support to East European genebanks to improve access of privatized plant breeding to germaplazm collections" the idea of creation crop networks was considered. The Centre for Plant Genetic Resources agreed to resume the idea of Secale Database continuation. The updated European Secale Database contains only newly requested data. This database contains passport data on 9,901 accessions maintained in 21 European institutions. The establishment of European Secale Database was supported by IPGRI from project LOA 94/172 "Updating of European Secale Database".

ECPGR Tomato Database
|
http://documents.plant.wur.nl/cgn/pgr/tomato/
Following the decision at the ECPGR Solanaceae Working Group meeting held in Olomouc, Czech Republic, in June 2007, the Centre for Genetic Resources, The Netherlands (CGN) has been given the responsibility to develop an on-line searchable central crop database for tomato germplasm, collected and preserved by ECPGR members and associated countries which have not formally joined ECPGR yet.
The database now contains passport information of more then 20 000 accessions of several species. The database is being developed following the principles of the IPGRI/FAO Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors List. An extra field for original taxonomic data has been added. The taxonomy in the searchable fields is in accordance with Mansfeld or GRIN accepted nomenclature. In future more fields will be added to incorporate characterization data.
CGN only manages the database and does not coordinate the requests. Requests for material listed in the database should be directed to the collection holder (institute) of the material.
For further information about the development of the Tomato database, please contact the database manager.

ECPGR Trifolium alexandrinum and Trifolium resupinatum Database
|
http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/databases/Crops/trif_a_r.htm
The Israeli Gene Bank for Agricultural Crops (IGB) is responsible for the maintenance of the European Central Trifolium alexandrinum and Trifolium resupinatum Database, under the initiative of ECPGR. Both Trifolium species originated from the Eastern Mediterranean and are utilized for hay or pasture. Trifolium alexandrinum L. is also known as Berseem or Egyptian clover, and T. resupinatum as Persian clover. The database includes cultivars and wild accessions of the two species which are held by several European Gene Banks and research institutes.

ECPGR Trifolium pratense Database
|
http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/databases/Crops/trif_pra.htm
The European Central Trifolium pratense Database is maintained by the Institute for Agrobotany (ABI), Tápiószele, Hungary. The elaboration of this European catalogue started at the Federal Agricultural Research Station of Changins, Nyon, Switzerland, in 1984. After its two editions and final updating the database was transferred to the ABI in 1995. The Trifolium pratense database is searchable on-line at the Internet server of the Nordic Gene Bank, Alnarp, Sweden and it consists of three files. One of them, the TPSTRUCT.DOC file contains the information about the structure of the main database file and gives the explanations for the field names and some coded values. The TRIFINST.DBF file holds the names and addresses of the various institutions and donors mentioned as acronyms and FAO codes among the accession data. The real accession data are compiled in the TRIFPRAT.DBF file. It contains passport data of 2294 red clover accessions stored in 19 genebanks or other institutions of 15 European countries. The collections includes commercial varieties (906), breeder's lines (90), primitive or local cultivates (480), wild or semi-natural ecotypes (578) and material of unknown type (127). The duplicates within the database are marked with the same ECP number. Seed requests should be sent directly to the holding institutes.

http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/databases/Crops/Trisetum.htm
The European Central Trisetum Database is maintained by the Grassland Research Station at Zubrí, which holds the national grass collection in the Czech Republic. The database uses FoxPro software and contains passport data on 72 accessions of 4 taxa stored in 8 European genebanks. The collections contain accessions from 8 countries and include advanced cultivars (18), wild material (43) and material of unknown type (11). Seed requests should be sent to the holding institutions.

ECPGR Triticale Database
|
http://www.bdn.ch/etdb/
The establishment of the European Triticale Database (ETDB) at the Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil Research Station (ACW), Nyon, Switzerland, was decided during the ECPGR Wheat Genetic Resources Workshop held in Paris in 1996. Data are being collected from 22 institutes in 18 different countries. These institutes conserve a total of 11 708 accessions.

ECPGR Umbellifer Database
|
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/whri/about/staff/dastley/gbrhrigru/ecpumbel/
The Umbellifer database was established at Wellesbourne following the first meeting of a European carrot group under the auspices of the ECPGR in Kraków, Poland in 1997. The group agreed to develop a database to include nine genera including Anethum L. (dill), Apium L. (celery), Carum L. (caraway), Chaerophyllum L. (chervil), Coriandrum L. (coriander), Daucus L. (carrot), Foeniculum Miller (fennel), Pastinaca L. (parsnip), and Petroselinum Hoffm. (parsley). The European Umbellifer DataBase (EUDB) has been rebuilt using data from EURISCO and national programmes. The data are available in ACCESS 2000 and Excel using the EURISCO MCPD. The database is maintained by the Warwick HRIGRU funded by the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The EUDB2007 contains 9396 accessions representing the 9 major Umbellifer crops and a range of the wild taxa from 39 institutions in 21 countries.
