Identification of a representative set of Prunus domestica accessions of European origin, well documented and characterized, to be included into the AEGIS system
Project
Project code: JKI-ZGO-08-4182
Contract period: 01.01.2015

Purpose of research: Networks and research co-ordination
European plums (Prunus domestica), and subspecies, are part of the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR) WG Prunus responsibility. Establishing AEGIS (A European Genebank Integrated System) collection is an output (no. 1.2) of ECPGR for phase IX. The European Prunus Database (EPDB) is a good and easy tool for the application of selection criteria for Most Appropriate Accessions (MAA) identification. However, some limits were high-lighted, like problems of synonymy and trueness-to-name. We propose to develop and test MAA selection methodology using both new SSR primers and the EPDB, on plum species. The participants will present their candidates for which they can supply phenotypic data, and which are the most unique that are suggested to be studied genotypically. Characterization and evaluation will be based on previously agreed standards. The phenotypic characterization will include about 100 genotypes. Leaf samples from a subgroup of the material will be sent to partner Balsgård in Sweden (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) for analyses according to specifications given by this laboratory. The participants will upload new and historic data together with passport data. Pictures of fruits from the genotypes will be uploaded together with descriptor data. Results from the SSR analyses at Balgsård will be sent to the database manager through the project leader and WG chair. The database manager will synchronize the data with the EURISCO catalogue. The WG chair together with the project team will make a list of MAA accessions to flag as AEGIS and suggest protocols for flagging.
