Dear All,
I am deeply disappointed with this development (or rather lack of it!).
I had not yet attended any GDR meetings or formally collaborated with
you but had been working towards that point. We have a relatively
successful apple breeding program here in Western Australia (Cripps
Pink, ie Pink Lady and Cripps Red, ie Sundowner among the releases).
Although very much based on conventional breeding, we are developing
molecular capacity and hoping to develop international collaboration.
The withdrawal of funding for GDR is a setback for us all.
Kind regards, Mick

Dear Doreen
although I am just arrived in the Rosaceae world I can
say you have done one of the best works ever seen. I
hope things will go better again soon, in between
thanks a lot for your efforts and nice collaboration
initiative.
hopefully we will meet soon in Zaragoza, I will keep
you and the community informed about the progress on
apple genome.
best regards

Hi Folks,
NSF are unable to support a renewal for GDR this year although a small supplementary award to the original grant may be possible. While it is very dissapointing, we will continue to do what we can while we pursue other sources of funding but please be aware we don't have any resources available to us at the current time.
You have been a really great community to work with and we appreciate all your support as we have built the database.
Cheers
Dorrie, Sook and Bert

Dear Dorrie, Sook, Bert,
This is really bad news. I think that we cannot afford to loose such a useful resource, that would be a clear step back in the progress of Rosaceae genomics. We have to start thinking of ways to keep the GDR going.
Thanks for all your efforts and for having made available to us this useful tool.
Best regards,
Pere

Dear colleagues,
I am forwarding the advertisement for two postdoctoral opportunities: one
in apple functional genomics at USDA/Washington State University and the
other in garden rose architecture at INRA, France.
Please check GDR site for details.
