PGRDEU

PGRDEU is the main documentation of plant genetic resources in Germany - the National Inventory for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in Germany.

PGRDEU contains comprehensive information about species and their utilisation as well as about the endangerment of species occurring in Germany.

Moreover, PGRDEU includes data of ex situ collections of German genebanks and other collections as well as a first data compilation (prototype) of in situ occurrences of wild species and landraces.

PGRDEU provides web-based access to information such as scientific name, common name, utilisation categories and endangerment. Additional information about passport data e.g. accession (variety) name, accession number, maintaining institute and country of origin is available for genebank accessions.

In the context of national and international obligations PGRDEU serves as national interface for information systems like:

• Federal Information System Genetic Resources ( BIG)
• European Plant Genetic Resources Search Catalogue ( EURISCO) of the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR)
• The World Information and Early Warning System on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture ( WIEWS) of FAO
• Global information system of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
