EUROPEAN CENTRAL FORAGES DATABASES 5 IPK, Malchow, Germany - Poa spp. Evelin Willner reported on the Poa database maintained since 1995 at the IPK-Genebank, Malchow station, Germany, where it was transferred from FAL Braunschweig, in connection with the retirement of Dr Seidewitz, and according to a decision of the ECP/GR Forages Working Group in 1995. Letters requesting Poa passport data updates were sent to 26 institutions in 19 countries holding relevant germplasm. The accessions in the database are reported to originate from 42 different countries, with more than 50% from Poland. Data received from contributors were transformed into a unique format, based on earlier recommendations of the ECP/GR Forages Working Group ('Guide to ECP/GR Forages Databases,' 1991) and on the FAO/IPGRI 'Multicrop Passport Descriptors' (draft version, January 1997). The authors of the database are highly interested in receiving Poa data from other institutions who, for different reasons, could not send their updates in time. Data should be sent to E. Willner or H. Knüpffer by Email or on diskettes, preferably in the form of .dbf files (dBase or FoxPro) or .xls (Excel) files. ASCII files are also welcome. There is not, as yet, any possibility to import databases created in the format of Microsoft Access. Information about available evaluation data is also welcome. The database will be made accessible via Internet in 1997, thanks to a collaboration between IPK and ZADI. 3 Institute for Agrobotany, Tápiószele, Hungary - Bromus, Trifolium pratense and other perennial legume forage species Lajos Horváth reported on the Bromus, Trifolium pratense and other perennial legume forage species databases, maintained at the Institute of Agrobotany (RCA), Tápiószele, Hungary. According to the decision of the fifth meeting of the Working Group, the Trifolium pratense database was transferred from Switzerland to the RCA, after it had been updated by the Swiss coordinator in 1995. The database contains passport data of 1901 accessions, belonging to 19 collaborating institutes. The duplicates within this database are marked with the same ECP number. The European Bromus Database has been updated during this period, and its structure is also renewed. The new database contains the passport data of 583 Bromus accessions, but duplicates are not included in it. 4 The fifth meeting also decided on the establishment of the 'Other Perennial Forage Legumes Database', which would compile the passport data of the European Anthyllis, Onobrychis, Lotus and Melilotus collections. IPGRI supplied the addresses of 45 possible collaborators. Until the reporting time 10 institutions had answered the request, and the new database contains 88 Anthyllis, 323 Melilotus, 677 Lotus and 348 Onobrychis accessions. Their total number is 1316. The three databases are available in dBaseIV format. ARO, Bet Dagan, Israel - Trifolium alexandrinum and T. resupinatum Information on the database, maintained at ARO, Bet Dagan, Israel was not received before this meeting. CNR, Bari, Italy - Vicia spp. (Information extracted from a report prepared by the database manager, Pietro Perrino, in October 1996). The Central Database for Vicia contains 5520 accessions. A little more than 40% of the accessions are stored in the Bari genebank. The other 60% are stored in nine other genebanks. The number of known species in the database is nearly 80. 3 The database was uploaded in June 1997 at http://www.dainet.de/genres/eccdb/poa/poa.htm 4 The Bromus database is now available on the Internet at http://www.ngb.se/Databases/ECP/Bromus
6 ECP/GR FORAGES WORKING GROUP IHAR, Bydgoszcz, Poland - Dactylis and Festuca Petter Marum presented a report received from Wlodzimierz Majtkowski on the Dactylis and Festuca databases, maintained at IHAR, Bydgoszcz, Poland. The databases were updated in 1997. Information was received from 23 institutes. The Dactylis database contains 8700 accessions in 10 taxa from 14 institutes. Most of the accessions belong to the species Dactylis glomerata L. (98.5%). Of all accessions, 89.5% were classified as ecotypes and 6.7% as advanced cultivars and breeders' lines. Among the advanced cultivars and breeding lines, 44% were duplicated in one or more genebanks. The Festuca database contains 7366 accessions in 27 taxa from 17 institutes. Most of the accessions belong to the species Festuca pratensis Huds. (71%), Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (18%) and Festuca rubra L. (5%). A total of 82.8% of the accessions were classified as ecotypes and 14% as advanced cultivars and breeders' lines. Among the advanced cultivars and breeding lines, 55% were duplicated in one or more genebanks. 5 The compiler of the database, Grzegor Żurek, recommends to update the database once every year, to add identification of duplicates to future activities, to collect information about other European species, and to standardize the taxonomy of the genus Festuca. Mr Majtkowski was thanked for sending his accurate report and for his good example of effective interaction as a corresponding Working Group member. INIA, Badajoz, Spain - Trifolium subterraneum and annual Medicago Francisco Gonzalez Lopez reported on the Trifolium subterraneum and annual Medicago databases, maintained at the Servicio de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico (SIA), Spain. Updates were received from IPGR, Sadovo, Bulgaria, BAL, Braunschweig, Germany and the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, UK. These were included in the databases. Data are recorded in dBaseIII and Access v. 2.0. The T. subterraneum database contains 3077 records, while the Medicago database contains 1776 records. All data are freely available. IGER, Aberystwyth, UK - Lolium and Trifolium repens Ian Thomas reported on the Lolium and Trifolium repens databases maintained at IGER, Aberystwyth, UK using Microsoft Access v. 7.0. A common record description is used for both databases based on the IBPGR Descriptor List for Forages (1985) with modifications to accommodate all contributed data. At the end of 1995 all institutes identified by IPGRI as holding genetic resources of Lolium and T. repens were contacted and during 1996 the databases underwent a significant update. New or revised data sets were received from 15 Institutes and the new (1997) databases contain 8417 records for 25 species or subspecies of Lolium and 1285 records for five species or subspecies of T. repens. Also received was the database on annual Lolium from Bari, Italy, although this has yet to be incorporated into the main Lolium database. Some institutes which supplied data for the old databases (pre-1995) did not reply to the request for new information. Rather than erroneously transfer obsolete records their data has not been included in the new databases. These institutes will be contacted during 1997 to ascertain the status of their data. IGER would welcome any further information to help make the databases as complete as possible. Data may be sent by Email or on diskette, preferably in Access, dBase or Excel format. It should be clearly indicated whether they are New records, Modifications to existing records or records to be Deleted from the database. An attempt was made to identify duplicated/unduplicated accessions. However, the outcome was not very satisfactory and it was decided to postpone the exercise pending further discussions. 5 The databases are now available on the Internet at http://www.ngb.se/Databases/ECP/Dactylis; http://www.ngb.se/Databases/ECP/Festuca
