The first ECPGR Secale Working Group meeting was held in Jokioinen, Finland, in August 1982. The Working Group designated the Polish Gene Bank as a crop germaplasm centre for rye and recommended collation of passport data from other European rye collections. The pioneer work carried out at the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute was edited under auspices of ECPGR Secretariat in 1984 by Jerzy Serwinski and Jan Konopka. During the meeting in Prague in 1994 in framework of the project "Technical support to East European genebanks to improve access of privatized plant breeding to germaplazm collections" the idea of creation crop networks was considered. The Centre for Plant Genetic Resources agreed to resume the idea of Secale Database continuation. The updated European Secale Database contains only newly requested data. This database contains passport data on 13,187 accessions maintained in 39 European institutions. The establishment of European Secale Database was supported by IPGRI from project LOA 94/172 "Updating of European Secale Database".
