Central crop databases for Malus, Prunus and Pyrus continue to exist, although their management has become unsustainable and has stagnated in the case of Malus and Pyrus. EURISCO developed the capacity to hold C&E data in 2015 and has invited partners to upload data. Through a number of recent European and ECPGR projects unique genotype codes (MUNQ/PUNQ for Malus/Pyrus and more recently CHUNQ for cherry) have been developed in an attempt to help to identify clonal replication within and between collections. However, such genotype codes are not currently included in EURISCO. Within the project, all partners will be responsible for carrying out an assessment of their accessions and available C&E data. Finally, the data will be prepared and uploaded by partners in EURISCO. Improving the current position would substantially improve the quality of data for the fruit tree collections in EURISCO, further support the potential development of the AEGIS concept and contribute to incentivize plant genetic resources use.
