European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources
The European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR) is a collaborative programme among most European countries aimed at ensuring the long-term conservation and facilitating the increased utilization of plant genetic resources in Europe (Solanaceae, Potato)

SolCAP
The official website of the USDA sponsored Solanaceae Coordinated Agricultural Project (SolCAP), which will phenotype and genotype large panels of tomato and potato accessions. Results will also be made available on SGN.
Solanum Source
