14. Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands WP1: Status summary WP1 is still on schedule Action points Increase of content minor LV database Uptake of more collections (lamb's lettuce and Rucola) Other minor LVs (asparagus, artichoke and Rheum) Increase of number of project data files in the databases Development of workplans for gap analysis
