The second edition of the "Mansfeld-Verzeichnis , which is a standard source of information on cultivated plants, deals with c. 4.800 species (without ornamental and forestry plants). Now the third, enlarged edition of the book [HANELT, P. (Ed.), in prep.] is nearly finished. It will be published in English and will contain about 6.000 species of cultivated plants as well as many infraspecific taxa. Parallel to the book edition a database version available in the Internet is being developed. For this purpose the electronic text files of the submitted manuscripts are structured and converted into tables, so that they can be imported into a database. These tasks are part of the BIG project (BundesInformationssystem Genetische Ressourcen), which is funded by the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology). ...

The Oryzabase is a comprehensive rice science database established in 2000 by rice researcher's committee in Japan. The database is originally aimed to gather as much knowledge as possible ranging from classical rice genetics to recent genomics and from fundamental information to hot topics. The Oryzabase consists of five parts, (1) genetic resource stock information, (2) gene dictionary, (3) chromosome maps, (4) mutant images, and (5) fundamental knowledge of rice science. We are planning to do more extensive cross-referencing of Oryzabase to the major DNA sequence database, literature database and other plant databases in order to provide the wealth of information to rice researchers. We are calling for additional mutants and mapped gene information to incorporate into the Oryzabase. Newly identified mutants and mapped trait genes published in the scientific journals will be welcome to integrate into the Oryzabase maps. ... [Information of the supplier]
The PAN Pesticide Database brings together a diverse array of information on pesticides from many different sources, providing human toxicity (chronic and acute), ecotoxicity and regulatory information for about 6,400 pesticide active ingredients and their transformation products, as well as adjuvants and solvents used in pesticide products. This database of active ingredients has been integrated with the U.S. EPA product databases, which provide information on formulated products (the form of the pesticide that growers and consumers purchase for use) containing the active ingredients. The information is most complete for pesticides registered for use in the United States. ... [Information of the supplier]
You would like to know where gene technology has possibly been used on plants and foodstuffs? You will find more information in the TransGen database where there are entries for plants, foodstuffs, ingredients, additives, and enzymes. You can access information about the current status of gene technology for almost all crop plants. You can find worldwide statistics concerning releases of GMO into the environment, and approvals. You can make a picture for yourself, to show the production and processing status of genetically manipulated organisms. At present, the database search is made with a search port in the right-hand sidebar of the project website. ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
With support of the The German Centre for Documentation and Information in Agriculture (ZADI) the BVL offers a free-of-charge internet data base. There are two search forms: The "Standard search" contains all criteria in one form. The "Stepwise search" will prompt the criteria in a defined sequence. The latter is especially recommended in case of slow internet access. The online data base is available in German language only. (...) Plant protection products may be authorised for certain crop species, or a list of several crop species, or for crop groups (sometimes with exceptions). Crop species and groups form a hierarchical structure. When searching in the online database these hierarchical relationships are automatically considered. Thus the search for „wheat“ will find also products authorised for „cereals“ as well as products authorised for „winter wheat“ or „summer wheat“. Note: It is strongly recommended if searching for crops then also to select a field of use (and maybe a function). (...) The result of the search is at first a list of products which fulfil the selected criteria. A click on a trade name opens a data sheet containing general information on the product, whereas a click on an authorisation number leads to a list of the uses of that product. ...

World Economic Plants in GRIN is based on "World Economic Plants: A Standard Reference" (John H. Wiersema and Blanca León 1999). This publication provides essential reference data in a concise and readily accessible format for over 9,500 vascular plants of commercial importance in various parts of the world. It makes available to both scientists and nonscientists up-to-date scientific names for economically important vascular plants. It includes information garnered during more than two decades of nomenclatural research on economic plants by taxonomists of the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ARS). ...

The aim of the BUKO Campaign against Biopiracy is to make the political, social and economical components of biodiversity public. It criticises the way in that biological diversity is only discussed as a topic in conservation. This disguises the fact that it is being appropriated by multinational concerns, in conjunction with government research institutes. This is biopiracy. This rejection is accompanied by a radical critique of north-south relations as well as global capitalism, its forms of domination and power structures. The campaign aims to build resistance against biopiracy as well as discuss and support social alternatives. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
