Plants are the basis of all food, feed and renewable bioenergy production and are essential for the transition from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy. Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) play a key role in ensuring this transition, as well as food security and climate mitigation. More than 2 million plant accessions are preserved “ex situ” in 410 institutes in Europe and associated countries and listed in the EURISCO database; even more diversity is found “in situ” in European farmlands and wild habitats, where it contributes significantly to agricultural resilience and climate mitigation. Detailed information on “ex situ” accessions is, at best, fragmentary, while for “in situ” accessions it is almost non-existent. A considerable part of these resources could be lost over the coming decade due to limitations in the “ex-situ” infrastructure and management, climate change, habitat loss, and invasive/alien species. The roadmap 2016 of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) identifies a clear gap in the sector “Plant facilities – unlocking green power”, i.e. the lack of a European Research Infrastructure (RI) specifically dedicated to PGRs. PRO-GRACE will undertake the first step to fill this this gap, by developing the concept of a novel (RI) dedicated to the conservation and study of PGRs. The concept will describe the proposed distributed structure, governance, economic plan and scientific services of the proposed RI, and will be the basis for a full proposal at the next ESFRI call. If implemented, this new RI will aim to catalog, describe, preserve and enhance European plant agrobiodiversity, and translate the results into conservation practices and agricultural innovation, and will collaborate with global organizations dedicated to Plant Genetic Resources and with other established ESFRI RIs working on complementary fields. (eg ELIXIR, EMPHASYS, DISSCO, LIFEWATCH, MIRRI).

植物是所有食物，饲料和可再生生物能源生产的基础，对于从化石基于生物的经济的过渡至关重要。植物遗传资源（PGR）在确保这种过渡以及粮食安全和气候缓解方面起着关键作用。在欧洲和关联国家的410家机构中保留了超过200万个工厂加入，并在Eurisco数据库中列出；在欧洲农田和野生栖息地“原地”发现了更多的多样性，在那里它对农业弹性和缓解气候的贡献产生了重大贡献。关于“ ex toce”配件的详细信息，充其量是碎片性的，而对于“原位”加入，几乎不存在。由于“前居住”基础设施和管理，气候变化，栖息地损失以及入侵/外星物种的局限性，这些资源的相当一部分可能会在未来十年内丢失。欧洲研究基础设施战略论坛（ESFRI）的路线图2016识别了“工厂设施 - 解锁绿色力量”的领域，即缺乏专门用于PGR的欧洲研究基础设施（RI）。 Pro-Grace将通过开发专门用于PGR保护和研究的小说（RI）的概念来实现填补这一空白的第一步。该概念将描述拟议的RI的拟议分布结构，治理，经济计划和科学服务，并将成为下一个ESFRI呼叫的完整建议的基础。如果实施，这种新的RI将旨在分类，描述，保存和增强欧洲植物农业生物多样性，并将结果转化为保护实践和农业创新，并将与致力于种植遗传资源以及其他既定的ESFRI在完全领域工作的全球组织合作。 （例如，长生不老药，强调，dissco，lifewatch，mirri）。
