What it is
http:eurisco.ecpgr.org
EURISCO roles and aims
• Providing technical support for the creation/development of
National PGR Inventories
• Develop and maintain an European PGR Search Catalogue with
passport data on ex situ collections maintained in Europe by:
having the possibility to frequently update the Catalogue from
the National PGR Inventories
providing easy access to information on PGR maintained ex
situ in Europe, thus facilitate locating and accessing it.
• Assisting countries in meeting national obligations and
commitments to:
the ITPGRFA (namely Art. 5, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17)
the FAO (namely GPA Priority Activity 17)
the CBD (namely Art. 7; 9; 17)
…, among others …

Objective
•To produce a web-based CWR and LR
Trait Information Portal – TIP (Task 2.1)
(a) provide useful trait information (phenomics, genomics and transcriptomics data) on
European CWR and LR diversity, particularly for the case study genera, Avena,
Beta, Brassica and Medicago;
(b) provide baseline biodiversity information on CWR and LR diversity and its
conservation;
(c) (c) establish links with related existing information systems regarding genomic
characterization and ensure integration with other relevant plant genetic resources
for food and…….
