The Vitis International Variety Catalogue comprises about 22.000 Vitis-species, grapevine varieties and important breeding lines. Internet users have access to variety-specific IPGRI-passport data, morphological descriptor data, results of evaluation (secondary descriptor data), pictures of ampelographical important plant organs and bibliography. High and increasing use of the database can be stated. Thus the database input is kept up to date and it is anticipated to extend the presentation, adding modules for the generation of pedigrees of simple and multiple crossings, the presentation of SSR-marker data and in a long term the availability of variety-specific publications.
