The first ECP/GR 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 ECP/GR 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 13,707
accessions maintained in 35 European institutions. The establishment of
European Secale Database was supported by IPGRI from project LOA
94/172 "Updating of European Secale Database".
