Re: [GDR] RE: Rosaceae Descriptor meeting at ASHS

by Tom Davis

To all, for comment: The descriptor "ploidy" should be defined as "number of chromosome sets", not as "number of chromosomes". I suggest inclusion or substitution of a descriptor called "chromosome number". This number should be expressed in a manner that expresses ploidy as well as chromosome number; For the octoploid strawberry, the chromosome number should be expressed as 2n = 8x = 56, in which the term "2n" indicates a "sporophytic" number as opposed to a "gametophytic (n) number, the term "x" denotes the number of chromosomes in a basic set (x=7 for Fragaria), and the coefficient preceding the x denotes the number of chromosome sets (i.e., the ploidy, which in this case is 8).

<<rosaceaedescriptorlists.xls>> <<Descriptors Lists for RosaceaeNPGS.doc>> I apologize for sending a file earlier this week that had some errors in it. The descriptor classes (column E) of the former version were misaligned with the descriptor names. The attached file has column E deleted and has been formatted for easier use and printing. It also has a typo of NAGS switched to NPGS in the Source column. The NPGS descriptors are those described by the National Plant Germplasm System Crop Germplasm Committees and information on the descriptor classes is available on the GRIN website (For apple: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/desclist.pl?115 and see attached file for links) The Bioversity descriptors are available online at the Bioversity website http://www.bioversityinternational.org/Publications/pubseries.asp?ID_SER IE=13 and the Eurisco descriptors are available online as well.

Rosaceae Descriptor meeting at ASHS

by Volk, Gayle

We held a meeting among folks interested in developing (or learning more about) some descriptors across Rosacaea at the ASHS meetings last week. I've attached the minutes from that meeting (thanks to Jim McFerson and Nahla Bassil for their comments), as well as some associated spreadsheets. I realize that not all members of the Rosaceae genomics community may be interested in receiving e-mail on the descriptor sets in the future. We'll continue future discussions among the lists of people listed in the minutes (attendees as well as those who couldn't make it at that meeting). Please let me know if you would like to be added to that mailing list. General background and a future direction for deciding upon Rosaceae descriptors was discussed at the meeting last week (see attached minutes). The next step is to brainstorm sets of descriptors from the major classes of interest in breeding/research programs across Rosaceae: 1) disease, 2) quality, 3) yield, 4) abiotic stress. We ask that anyone interested come up with 3-7 descriptors in one or more of the 4 categories that could be of interest across at least 2 genera within Rosaceae. Eventually, we'll have to scale things to make them relative within the genera (i.e. raw data for fruit weight as well as weight relative to a standard) and if you'd like to comment on possible ways to accomplish this, then please do. I'll compile a list of all the ideas we receive and then forward it to those interested being on the mailing lists. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (e-mail is best since I'll be on travel during much of the next month). I'd like to receive a first draft of ideas by August 10th so we can have the compiled list available for discussion at the next descriptor meeting to be held during the Portland, OR Fireblight meetings on August 13. I look forward to hearing from you. <<Rosaceae Descriptors for GRIN7-17-07.doc>> <<Descriptor classes.xls>> <<trait ontologies.xls>> <<rosaceaedescriptorlists.xls>> Gayle Gayle Volk USDA-ARS-NCGRP 1111 S Mason St. Ft Collins, CO 80521 970-495-3205

Hi Everyone, Gayle Volk had difficulty posting this message to the gdr-list, so I'm going to try forwarding it for her. Anyone who is going to ASHS in Scottsdale next week and/or is interested in phenotyping of Rosaceae by the NPGS will want to read it.

1st announcement of the International Rose Genomics meeting

by Fabrice Foucher

Dear Rose researchers, We are pleased to invite you to *the first International Rose Genomics meeting in Angers (France) from the 11th to 13th of December 2007*. The aim of the meeting is to provide a setting where all private and public researchers involved in rose breeding, genetics, and genomics interchange information and, set priorities in the emerging area of rose genomics to best direct our efforts to improve rose breeding. The development of rose genomics needs an international effort from public and private groups to launch collaborations for the creation of international initiatives for funding projects. You will find all the information concerning the meeting on the the following website : http://colloque.inra.fr/rosegenomics2007. We asked you to preregister on line (with no payment) in order to evaluate the number of participants. The registration (with payment) will be opened later in September. We encourage you to submit an abstract for selection to an oral presentation. Feel free to circulate this 1st announcement to your colleagues and collaborators involved in rose breeding, genetics and genomics. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the organization committee (rose.genomics2007(a)angers.inra.fr) We hope to see you in Angers. Fabrice Foucher For the organization committee.
