EURISCO

EURISCO is a web-based database catalog that contains information about ex situ plant collections maintained in Europe based on a European network of ex situ National Inventories (NIs) and receives data from the NIs through country National Focal Points (NFPs). The EURISCO database currently includes passport data of ~1.8 million samples of crop diversity that represent over 6,200 genera and 41,600 species.
EURISCO is hosted at and maintained by IPK Gatersleben on behalf of Bioversity International, which acts as the legal entity of the Secretariat of the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR), in collaboration with and on behalf of the National Focal Points for the National Inventories.
