European Community programme on the conservation, characterisation, collection and utilisation of genetic resources in agriculture

However, the present ECPGR system strongly relies on inputs in kinds by each member, and this is an increasingly structural limitation, because of the very

heterogeneous national policies among European countries on the matter of plantheterogeneous national policies among European countries on the matter of plant genetic resources with subsequent financial and technical consequences suffered by

national institution in charge of germplasm.

Towards

http://www.aegis.cgiar.org/Main Objectives:Main Objectives:

1. Strengthening European collaboration for Plant Genetic Resources

2 I i t ffi i f ( t bl ) GR t2. Improving cost efficiency of (vegetables) GR management

3. Improving quality standards of (vegetables) GR management

4. Reducing redundancy within and between (vegetables) collectionsg y ( g )

5. Facilitating access to (vegetables) GR

6. Strengthening ex situ in situ conservation

Operation mode: contractual commitment of the participating countries: signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)g g ( )21 countries have signed since July 2009 (21 out of 42 countries)

The European collection (of vegetables)

1. Identification of the Most Appropriate Accessions (MAAs) –starting

Unique or Specific to or Important for Europe

2 pilot WGs: Help ECPGR at setting up a guideline for MAAs identification Brassica (rapa): based on passport data (pbs: NA data, outbreeders)

Alli ( t ti ) b d l l fi i tiAllium (vegetative) : based on molecular fingerprinting

Other WGs: starting
