• 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 …

Work package 2: InformaticsLead partner: BIOVER.; all partners involved .

•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…….
