 | The ECPGR Cultivated Potato Database Scottish Agricultural Science Agency Database manager: Dr Stuart Carnegie |  |
The database contains over 11 600 entries, covering 4000 potato cultivars and 1400 breeding lines which are held in over 15 collections. Varieties can, thus, be sourced and their health status established. Amongst the 101 data fields, information is also provided on pedigree; resistance to pests and diseases; botanical, agronomic and quality characteristics. The full list of descriptors and their states is detailed in the descriptor dictionary which also shows how the data was transformed to create the database. The European Cultivated Potato Database is the result of a 5 year collaboration between participants in 8 European Union countries and 5 East European Countries. The participants included national genebanks, research institutes, private breeders and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
