The European Bromus, Trifolium pratense and other<br />

perennial forages databases<br />

Manager: Lajos Horváth<br />

Institute for Agrobotany, Tápiószele, Hungary<br />

EUROPEAN CENTRAL FORAGES DATABASES 37<br />

The Institute for Agrobotany (RCA) has reported about the current status of three databases.<br />

According to the decision of the fifth meeting of the Working Group, the Trifolium pratense<br />

database was transferred from Switzerland to the RCA, after it had been updated by the<br />

Swiss coordinator in 1995. The database contains the passport data of 1901 accessions<br />

belonging to 19 collaborating institutes. The duplicates within this database are marked with<br />

the same ECP number.<br />

The European Bromus Database has been updated during this period, and its structure is<br />

also renewed. The new database contains the passport data of 583 Bromus accessions, but<br />

duplicates are not included in it.<br />

The fifth meeting also decided on the establishment of the Other Perennial Forage<br />

Legumes Database, which would compile the passport data of the European Anthyllis,<br />

Onobrychis, Lotus and Melilotus collections. IPGRI supplied the addresses of 45 possible<br />

collaborators. Up to the reporting time 10 institutions had answered the RCA call letter, and<br />

the new database contains 88 Anthyllis, 323 Melilotus, 677 Lotus and 348 Onobrychis<br />

accessions. Their total number is 1316.<br />

The three databases are available in dBaseIV format.<br />
