Description
European cooperation on forage genetic resources is coordinated within the framework of ECP/GR. Today 20 specific European forage databases are maintained by different institutions. The databases hold passport data and, to some extent, characterisation data for a total of 43993 accessions maintained in collections throughout Europe. A European Core Collection is has been established in Lolium perenne and is currently under evaluation at 19 sites.
