Implementation of the ECPGR European Evaluation Network (EVA) on wheat/barley and vegetable crops (carrot, lettuce and pepper)
Project
Project code: JKI-RS-08-3424
Contract period: 01.06.2019
- 01.05.2022
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
It is proposed to start a project for the implementation of the EVA-wheat and barley and EVA-vegetables (carrot, lettuce and pepper) Networks for three years under the Coordination of the ECPGR Secretariat. As part of the project, the Evaluation Network structure will be completed, including the formal establishment of two crop consortia, through signature of Letters of Commitment and Cooperation Agreements. Overall, the concept of a European Evaluation Network will be validated and will offer an example that could be followed by other crop consortia. The implementation of this project will allow for the first time to consolidate a long-term cooperation between genebanks, research institutions and the breeding sector (public and private) within the European cooperative programme. The expected achievements will allow a leap forward in the level of efficiency and services offered by European genebanks, consolidating interaction between conservation and use of PGRFA. The latter has been a long-standing (but to date, largely unaccomplished) goal of the European genetic resources community. Therefore, Cereals: at least 150 European genebank accessions per year per crop (minimum 100 plots per site) in possibly 20 sites each of the three macro zones, for two years, for a total of at least 3000 cereal accessions evaluated. Twenty carrot accessions per year will be evaluated in possibly 10 environments with 2 replicates for each environment (including lab screening for three Alternaria species and Mycocentrospora acerina, and field traits (diseases, morphology, harvest and quality traits), for a total of 60 accessions ewill be evaluated. Between 20 and 50 lettuce accessions per year will be evaluated in possibly 10 environments (including lab screening for three Bremia strains and morphological characterization), for a total of between 60 and 150 lettuce accessions will be evaluated. Between 100 and 200 pepper accessions will be evaluated for two years in possibly 10 environments (including lab screening for TSWV, ToBRFV and Verticillium resistance/tolerance and field evaluation). Jointly agreed evaluation protocols (experiment set up; scoring methodology) and data collection standards (ontologies) for data collection will be used. All the accessions selected for evaluation will be genotyped. Phenotypic + genotypic data derived will be included in EURISCO. Inclusion of evaluated accessions into AEGIS will be facilitated.
