These germplasm collections share most of their attributes, but database systems and data models implemented may differ substantially. The International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, IPGRI, has developed standards for data exchange and data integration, which are implemented by many genebanks. Germplasm collections also share many attributes with other biodiversity collections, such as natural history museums, botanical gardens or herbaria. Today there is no single point of access allowing the discovery of germplasm samples across all genebank collections worldwide. Germplasm data portals like EURISCO (European genebanks), SINGER (CGIAR genebanks), USDA-GRIN (USA) and NGB (Northern Europe) successfully demonstrate that distributed data on germplasm accessions (genebank seed samples) can be mapped to common stan...

Documentation of collections holding barley genetic resources in Europe, and the standardised evaluation of Hordeum spp. germplasm for resistance against biotic and abiotic stress factors are the objectives of this initiative. The International Barley Core Collection (BCC) is the major focus of the screening for stress resistance.

The German Federal Gene Bank at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (... more The German Federal Gene Bank at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben comprises ca. 148 000 accessions of crop plants and their wild relatives. Among these, material from Albania and Greece is represented with ca. 1100 and more than 2700 accessions, respectively. IPK's collection of Albanian germplasm is the world's largest collection, while IPK's Greek germplasm collection is the third largest holding of Greek crops and their wild relatives. The largest part of this material (ca. 200 and 1600 accessions from Albania and Greece, respectively) originates from two collecting expeditions carried out by Hans Stubbe, the founder of the Institute for Cultivated Plant Research, and other German collectors during the Second World War, in 1941 (ca. 700 accessions) and 1942 (ca. 1100 accessions). Stubbe's expeditions are described with respect to the regions visited, species collected, plus a comparison between the original collec...

A catalogue, the European Barley List, was published in 1987. The database runs on an 8 bit microcomputer under the CP/M operating system and the database management system dBASE II. The objectives of the EBDB are outlined, and the origin of the data is described. The definitions of the 23 passport descriptors are given, and problems of their standardization and the development of unified acronym systems are discussed. Surveys of the geographical distribution and the botanical composition of the material are presented. Detailed tables list the origin countries of the material, the most frequent botanical varieties inHordeum vulgare, and the 33 wild species of the genusHordeum which are represented by 2785 accessions. The frequencies of certain morphological character combinations inH. vulgare are calculated from the frequencies of the corresponding infraspecific taxa. The projected development of the database includes the identification of duplicates and of geographical gaps in European collections. The usefulness of a KWIC (Key Word In Context) index as a new tool for the identification of duplicates in plant genetic resources databases is illustrated by two examples. The services of the EBDB and computer-readable copies of the database are offered to potential users.
