Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands
WP1: Milestones - continued
Year 3 DBs with passport data nearly finalized (month 36) Start of inclusion of characterization and evaluation
data in DBs (month 36) Safety duplication partly realized (month 36) Start identification of collection gaps (month 36)
Year 4 Start availability of DBs on the internet (month 42) Safety duplication realized (month 42) Main part of characterization and evaluation data
included in DBs (month 45)

Discussion points
Databases Design according to ECPGR concept, largely
following the format of the ILDB? Hosted by task leader? Only data of material that is available for use? Distribution of formats necessary for data
submission?• Consistent display within fields (e.g. predefined crop type
indication)• Distinction between donor and origin• Other identification numbers (e.g. used by donor genebanks)
Safety duplication system Follow-up of ECPGR activities (bottlenecks?)
Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands
Discussion points - continued
Selection procedure of material for other WP’s?1. Selection of material for evaluation (core?)
2. Check-up of seed quantity and quality of the selection
3. Selected material with low seed quantity/quality receives highest priority for regeneration
4. Additional accessions to be regenerated/characterized based on preference and need (curators?)
Collection gaps Gaps in DB, not in individual collections? Definition of gap?
