1. ECPGR Allium Database
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/whri/about/staff/dastley/gbrhrigru/ecpallium/
The Allium database (EADB) was established at Wellesbourne, U.K. following the first meeting of the ECPGR Allium Working Group in Tápiószele, Hungary in 1984. The database was rebuilt in 2006 to underpin the objectives of the AEGIS Allium Subgroup to develop European collections and European Safety Duplicate collections for the vegetatively propagated Allium crops, namely garlic and shallot. The EADB was updated again in 2007 in support of the EU GENRES EURALLIVEG project. The EADB2007 database contains 14 194 accessions representing the 5 major Allium crops and the wild taxa from 43 institutions in 29 countries. The European Allium data are stored using the EURISCO Passport Descriptors, and are available as downloadable MS Excel or MS Access files. The EADB is maintained by the Warwick HRI, Genetic Resources Unit (HRIGRU), funded by the UK Government Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

6. ECPGR International Database for Beta
http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/databases/Crops/beta_intl.htm
The IDBB has been established on the initiative of the ECPGR at the Centre for Genetic Resources, The Netherlands (Wageningen) by L. Frese and Th. J. L. van Hintum in 1987. The project was promoted by the German-Dutch Board for Crop Genetic Resources with the objective to inventory the international Beta germplasm holding, to facilitate rationalisation of germplasm management activities and to improve access to information and germplasm. In late 1991 the responsibility for the database management was assigned to the genebank of the Institute of Crop Science and Plant Breeding of the Federal Agricultural Research Centre (FAL) located in Braunschweig (Germany). Since 1996 the genebank is affiliated with the Federal Centre for Breeding Research on Cultivated Plants (BAZ). The IDBB has been completely redesigned and upgraded recently. The central crop database provides users with comprehensive and readily accessible passport data on 28 European and non European collections as well as with characterisation and evaluation data useful for crop research and breeding programmes.
7. ECPGR Eggplant Database
http://www.bgard.science.ru.nl/WWW-IPGRI/eggplant.htm
The European Database for Eggplant is being developed within the framework of EGGNET (EGGplant genetic resources NETwork), a project funded by the European Union. The project is coordinated by Ms. Marie-Christine Daunay, Unité de génétique & amélioration des fruits et légumes, INRA, Montfavet, France. The Eggplant database has been created and will be maintained by the Nijmegen participants in EGGNET. For further information about the development of the Eggplant database, please contact the database managers.
8. ECPGR International Lactuca Database
http://documents.plant.wur.nl/cgn/pgr/lvintro/
The necessity of a database for lettuce became apparent during the "Eucarpia Leafy Vegetable Meeting", June 1999 at Olomouc, Czech Republic. There it was shown that Lactuca is relatively well represented in genebanks, but that access to information on lettuce collections is not optimal and duplication between Lactuca collections is considerable (Hintum and Boukema 1999). During the ECPGR Vegetables Network Coordinating Group Meeting, Vila Real, Portugal, 26-27 May 2000, the necessity to create a Lactuca database was confirmed. The database concentrates in first instance on passport data of all Lactuca species of germplasm collections worldwide. If you would like to request material included in the database, please refer to the donor institute which maintains the accession.

17. ECPGR Umbellifer Database
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/whri/about/staff/dastley/gbrhrigru/ecpumbel/
The Umbellifer database was established at Wellesbourne following the first meeting of a European carrot group under the auspices of the ECPGR in Kraków, Poland in 1997. The group agreed to develop a database to include nine genera including Anethum L. (dill), Apium L. (celery), Carum L. (caraway), Chaerophyllum L. (chervil), Coriandrum L. (coriander), Daucus L. (carrot), Foeniculum Miller (fennel), Pastinaca L. (parsnip), and Petroselinum Hoffm. (parsley). The European Umbellifer DataBase (EUDB) has been rebuilt using data from EURISCO and national programmes. The data are available in ACCESS 2000 and Excel using the EURISCO MCPD. The database is maintained by the Warwick HRIGRU funded by the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The EUDB2007 contains 9396 accessions representing the 9 major Umbellifer crops and a range of the wild taxa from 39 institutions in 21 countries.
