We are seeking US and international scientist nominations for the 2015-2017 term of RosEXEC members.
The RosEXEC mission is as follows:
· Serve as a communication and coordination focal point for the US Rosaceae genomics, genetics and breeding community.
· Define research priorities based on input from the industry and research community.
· Facilitate scientific interaction and foster dynamic research teams.
· Promote research priorities.
· Coordinate educational efforts from the research community to the industry and the public.
· Serve as an official steering committee for the Genome Database for Rosaceae
The committee seeks to have a diverse representation of scientists from industry, university, and government as well as pome, stone, and rosoid crop groups. Self-nominations are welcome, as are nominations of colleagues in the Rosaceae community. The committee meets annually at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference, and several conference calls are held throughout the year.
The current membership of RosEXEC can be viewed at: http://www.rosaceae.org/rosexec_2014
And the RosEXEC page is: http://www.rosaceae.org/community/us_rosexec
Five members (Chris Dardick, David Byrne, Thomas Chao, Bob Curtis, and Sook Jung) will be rotating off the committee in January 2015, so five US slots will be filled. International representatives Dan Sargent and Felicidad Fernandez are rotating off the committee, so two international slots will be filled. Scientists rotating off the RosEXEC committee are not eligible for re-nomination for one year.
To submit a nomination, please submit
1) a short biography
2) picture
3) e-mail address
4) mailing address
to RosEXEC Vice-Chair Gayle Volk (Gayle.Volk(a)ars.usda.gov<mailto:Gayle.Volk@ars.usda.gov>) by November 21, 2014.
Elections will be held in December 2014 and new members will begin their assignments at the RosExec meeting to be held at the Plant and Animal Genome Meeting (PAG) in January, 2015.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your participation.

Hi Folks,
Just wanted to let you know that GDR has been funded for the next 5 to 10 years by the USDA NIFA Specialty Crop Research Program. We are also receiving funds for the next 5 to 10 years to further develop the Tripal database platform that GDR uses and this will further help us deliver a sustainable database that we hope meets the communities short and long term needs. To help ensure this the US Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics and Breeding Executive Committee, known as RosEXEC (which contains non US international liaisons) has kindly agreed to serve as the GDR steering committee. We will present quarterly progress reports to them, together with planned activities for the next quarter and receive feedback from them. Our plans for the next 5 years will be posted on GDR in the next couple of weeks and we will start issuing quarterly newsletters to the GDR mailing list.
Thank you for your tremendous support over the last 12 years of GDR, clearly we could not do this without you. Here is to the next ten years of GDR development.
Cheers
Dorrie, Sook, and the rest of the GDR development team

Hello everyone,
First I apologize if you get this email twice. I have sent it to the GDR mailing list and the conference attendee list.
All of the abstracts from RGC7 have been made public. Some abstracts, also have a poster PDF or presentation recording associated with them (with permission from authors). To access the abstracts, got to http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7. There are quick links on the left to the abstract list (click on abstract title to see complete info) and a link on how to cite the abstracts. On the conference home page, there are links to a PDF of the abstract book and Dr. Rex Bernardo's wonderful keynote address.
Thanks again to all of you who attended and were involved in the planning of the conference. It went really well. Plan to attend RGC8 in France in 2016!

Hi Folks,
If you have RNA Seq data for peach or prunus that you would like to share with Ignazio verde to help annotate the v2.0 peach genome, please email him at ignazio.verde(a)entecra.it

Hi all,
Please forward to all and any interested parties.
I currently have a post doctoral position available in my lab. Currently it is set for a one year (with the possibility of renewal for a total of two years)
It is a teaching postdoc where the incumbent will teach a class per semester (as teacher of record), and will work with my undergraduate students on my RI INBRE (NIH) based project working on the molecular mechanisms underling the effects of Raspberry Phenolics on human stomach cancer cells. The Postdoc will need to be willing to train students in qPCR, and work with NGS data. Some human cell culture will be required, but extensive training will be provided through my collaborators lab at Brown University. Some work on grant, and manuscript preparation will also be required.
This is a position that is ideal for a post-doc wanting to perdure a career as a faculty member at a primarily undergraduate university. Not to mention Newport RI is a WONDERFUL place to live.
The one trick is that I need to fill this position quickly, so please send CV’s to me directly as soon as possible (jd.swanson(a)salve.edu). I will be reviewing immediately until the position is filled.
Thanks
JD

Hi Folks,
We have been invited to submit a full proposal to the USDA SCRI program for GDR (current funding ends August 31 of this year). If you are submitting a proposal to the same program and you will have data that can be submitted to GDR, could you provide the title of your proposal and the PI information so I can list it in our proposal.
Many thanks

Hello everyone,
I wanted to send out one more general reminder about the upcoming RGC7 conference (http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7). If you are a presenting author, and have not registered yet, you have until May 15th to do so otherwise your abstract will be removed from the program. If you know you are not coming, please let us know at rgc7(a)rosaceae.org<mailto:rgc7@rosaceae.org> so we can adjust the program as needed. All registration fees must be paid by May 15th for presenting authors and attendees.
Pre-tours-There is still room on both pre-tours. If you have already registered, you can add a pre-tour to your registration by modifying your registration on the payment site (https://www.etouches.com/ereg/index.php?eventid=78010&). You will need to enter your email address and reference number from the registration confirmation email. Details about each tour can be found at http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7/tours .
Breeding and GGB Workshop pre-tour--We will be making the hotel arrangements in Wenatchee ($109 + taxes). Registrants will be paying for the hotel at check-in, and I will be contacting the registrants soon about whether they want their own room or if they want to share for the reservations.
Mt. Rainier Trip-We need a minimum of 39 people for this trip. Currently there are 18 people registered. If by May 15 we do not have 39 people, we will have to cancel this trip and issue refunds.
Conference hotel in Seattle-We have a room block at the Red Lion on 5th Avenue in downtown Seattle (http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7/hotel). Reservations must be made by May 24 to get the conference rate of $179/night.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
See you in Seattle!
