Following up on activities within the ECPGR working group on leafy vegetables, this website was developed within the framework of the EU GENRES project entitled "Leafy vegetables germplasm, stimulating use" (AGRI-2006-0262). The website provides access to the updated International Lactuca Database (ILDB) and to three newly developed databases containing information on accessions of spinach, chicory and minor leafy vegetables, respectively. Data were collected of accessions that in principal are available for distribution. It was aimed to cover all known European collections as much as possible and to include the main collections from outside Europe as well. EURISCO or the old ILDB was used as data source in case no current passport data were received upon request. The databases also provide access to characterization and evaluation data generated within the framework of the EU GENRES project.
