Botanical Garden of Nijmegen Botanical Garden of Nijmegen Botanical and Experimental Garden RadboudUniversity,Nijmegen, The Netherlands The Botanicaland Experimental Garden of the Radboud University of Nijmegen paysspecial attention to the family of Solanaceaeand maintains the most extensive ex situ plant collection ofnon-tuberousSolanaceae species in the world. The conservation of the genetic resourcesof the Solanaceae is of great importance, since many Solanaceae speciesprovide for important sources of food, medicin and ornamental crops,butin addition several species have served well in pioneeringbiotechnology,genetic engeneering and genetic analysis. The Botanical andExperimentalGarden of the Radboud University of Nijmegen has opted for theconservationof Solanaceae species within the framework of the decentralised NationalPlant Collection of the Botanical Gardens in The Netherlands.Worldwidecollaboration and/or exchange has been established, especially withinternationalinstitutes with Solanaceae germplasm collections.The Botanical andExperimentalGarden belongs to TheInstitute for Wetland and Water Research,Faculty of Science, Radboud University Nijmegen, which consists ofseveraldepartments and laboratories.The Solanaceaedatabases oftheBotanical and Experimental GardenThe extensive Solanaceae collection maintained the Botanical andExperimentalGarden is well documented by passport data, illustrations, herbariumandbibliography. To make all this information on Solanaceae readilyavailable to interested parties all this information is stored indatabaseswhich can be searched online. The Solanaceaedatabase contains the passportdescriptors consisting of the the FAO/IPGRI multi-crop passportdescriptors,the descriptors added under the EGGNETproject, and the EURISCO descriptors developed by the EPGRIS project.TheSolanaceae database is linked to the Solanaceaebibliography database which has been developed by the Botanical andExperimental Garden and which can also be searched separatelyonline.The Solanaceae collection held by the Radboud University consisting ofthe non-tuberbearing wild species have been included in theMultilateral System of Access and Benefit-sharing, established by theInternational Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food andAgriculture, on April 24 2008.AdditionalSolanaceae Databases which can be searchedonline:ECP/GREggplant Databasehttp://www.bgard.science.ru.nl/WWW-IPGRI/eggplant.htmThe European Eggplant Database for Eggplant has beendeveloped within the framework of EGGNET (EGGplant genetic resourcesNETwork),a project funded by the European Union.ECP/GRCyphomandra Databasehttp://www.comav.upv.es/Cyphomandra.htmlThe European Database for Cyphomandra is an initiativeof the ECP/GR Solanaceae working group and is being developed by theCentrode Conservacion y Mejora de la Agrodiversidad Valenciana, Spain.ECP/GRPhysalis Databasehttp://www.comav.upv.es/Physalis.htmlThe European Database for Physalis is an initiative ofthe ECP/GR Solanaceae Working Group and is being developed by theCentrode Conservacion y Mejora de la Agrodiversidad Valenciana, Spain.ECP/GRPotato Database - cultivatedhttp://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/databases/Crops/potato_cult.htmThe database contains over 11 600 entries: 4000 potatocultivars; 1400 breeding lines. The European Cultivated Potato Databaseis the result of a 5 year collaboration between participants in 8EuropeanUnion countries and 5 East European Countries.ECP/GRPotato Database - wild bearing tubershttp://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/databases/Crops/potato_wild_tuber.htmThe European Central Wild Potato Database has beendevelopedby the network of the GEN RES project CT95 - 34/45: Genetic ResourcesofPotato including conservation, characterization and utilization ofsecondarypotato varieties for ecological production systems in Europe. Thedatabaseis maintained by Plant Research International, Centre for GeneticResources,The Netherlands (CGN) since 1996.

Once anaccessionhas been properly identified, it is maintained through propagation and,if possible, plants will be grown until seeds are produced which arethenstored in a seedbank. In additionall the accessions are documented bycollectingherbarium material, photography, etc. and, together with the passportdataincluding verification, source and conservation data,.are stored in themain Solanaceae database of the Botanical and Experimental Garden.Authoritywith respect to plant names are used according to R.K. Brummit and C.E.Powell. Seed availability of a particular accession canbe checked in the onlineSolanaceae database. In response to the Convention onBiologicalDiversity (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), article 15 (access to geneticresources)concerning the exchange of plant material, the Botanical Garden ofNijmegenhas adopted the restrictive policy on supplying seed to the scientificcommunity. By ordering seed or plant material, the recipient acceptsandpledges to respect the conditions set forth by the Rio Convention.A SMTA should be signed.
