Naktuinbouw in the Netherlands is the organization authorized to assess varieties of agricultural， floricultural， arboricultural and vegetable crops for distinctness， uniformity and stability (DUS testing) for registration purposes and/or granting Plant Breeders' Rights， both on Dutch an EU level. The objectives of this study within 2 weeks in Naktuinbouw were to learn genotyping on Phalaenopsis varieties by BioNumerics software and to establish the DNA database of Phalaenopsis varieties. Both techniques and experiences through this study could not only establish the methods (such as parameter data， file format ... etc)，but also solve problems of both sides cooperation. To effectively handle the issues of both sides cooperation in 14th Taiwan-Netherlands Agricultural Working Group Meeting， the researchers of Taiwan TSIPS and Naktuinbouw had written the document “Proposal of the cooperation between TSIPS and Naktuinbouw” including exchange works of DNA materials and analysis results. Meanwhile， I also attended the information meeting for breeder and seed company during this study. Four programs were conducted in this meeting， mainly focusing on the role of DNA makers in the DUS testing and against infringement on Plant Breeders’ rights.After this study， both sides pay more attention on detail technical operations of DNA database of Phalaenopsis species based on those discussions and experiences. In the future works， how to communicate with technical staff of DUS testing， breeder and seed company is very important issue. Besides， the DNA database will make connections between characteristic database and image database. This harmonization will enhance the standardization and authority of the molecular testing technologies and using the DNA database as support to the DUS testing of Phalaenopsis.
