Hi folks, It's that time of the year again for SCRI grant proposals! We would like to update the Rosaceae marker-trait association (M-TA) table prepared last year for the RoseBREED proposal. We are particularly interested in any new QTLs, major gene loci, genes and linked markers that may have been discovered and probably published since the last table was created. Please provide the information using the format in the last table which you will find at the following links: Full information: http://www.hrt.msu.edu/faculty/Iezzoni/Links/TABLE%20of%20M-T%20associations %20for%20website_Sept2008.pdf Summary Table: http://www.hrt.msu.edu/faculty/Iezzoni/Links/Summary%20Table%20of%20MT%20Ass ociations.pdf That is, the information should follow the sequence: species, trait, QTL, major trait locus, genes (including LGs for genes/major loci and LGs, LOD score, percentage of variation explained for QTLs), source/population, linked markers, references, use in MAPS (i.e., marker-assisted parent selection) and MASS (marker-assisted seedling selection). I would appreciate if you could include the full citation details for all references in the full information table. Please send the information to me by the 25th of March 2009. Thank you so much for your assistance.

RosBREED

by Amy Iezzoni

Dear Colleagues, A few months ago, the US Rosaceae Genetics, Genomics and Breeding Executive Committee, under the leadership of Gennario Fazio, began discussing community initiatives. RosBREED: Enablling marker assisted breeding in Rosaceae, arose from these discussions. As a result of a conference call last week, a small committee was put together to further develop our vision and goals for this community project targeting submission to the fortcoming US Specialty Crop Research Initiative. I agreed to lead the effort at this point and I have tentatively agreed to PI the proposal, depending on the due date. I want to thank the committee, especially Cameron Peace and Jim Olmstead who had a late night last night, for preparing an excellent outline for your review. Our goal was to ground the outline solidly with a vision, mission and justification, yet also provide sufficient detail on the objectives and approach so that you can provide critique. We invite your comments and changes to the attached outline. Please use track changes for your edits etc. Upon reading the outline, you'll notice that under "Strategies to achieve objective 1", our goal is to test the robustness of marker trait associations over a wide range of germplasm (beyond the populations in which they were first discovered). To achieve this objective, I would like to ask for your help in compiling a list of available marker - trait associations. We will use this list as an in-house document from which we can select marker - trait associations for the proposed pipeline. Thank you in advance for your help. Both the outline and table are attached. I began adding to the table to get it started. Unfortunately we are working on a very tight deadline and so we would appreciate your comments, suggestions, and Table additions by next Wed if possible. We look forward to hearing from you and collaborating in any way possible. Best regards, Amy Dr. Amy Iezzoni Professor Department of Horticulture Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824 telephone: (517) 355-5191 ext. 391 fax: (517) 353-0890

RosEXEC 2008 election RESULTS

by Peace, Cameron

Dear Rosaceae GGB community, Congratulations to EIGHT new RosEXEC members joining in 2008: U.S. RosEXEC members Nahla Bassil (USDA-ARS, National Clonal Germplasm Repository, Corvallis, OR) Chris Dardick (USDA-ARS, Appalachian Fruit Research Station, Kearneysville, WV) Amit Dhingra (Washington State University, Pullman, WA) Jim Luby (University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN) Gayle Volk (USDA-ARS, National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation, Fort Collins, CO) These five people will serve three-year terms. RosEXEC International Liaisons Jasper Rees (University of the Western Cape, South Africa) Dan Sargent (East Malling Research, United Kingdom) Eric van de Weg (Plant Research International, Netherlands) Note that although only two slots were offered for International Liaison,election results were so close for the three candidates above that we invite all three to join RosEXEC, to serve two-year terms. With the addition of these new members, we anticipate that the current momentum in U.S.-wide and international coordination and synergy will be maintained and ramped up even further. We appreciate the enthusiastic efforts over the last three years of our 2008 outgoing members, and look forward to their continued involvement in our community. New initiatives such as the RosCAP proposal submitted in February 2008 demonstrate the high level of cooperation we are experiencing in this community, resulting from strategic efforts led by RosEXEC over the last several years. This has been and will be possible only with interest and efforts from all of you. Vote counts were very close, and it is encouraging to realise that we have so many good people willing to devote their time to the objectives of RosEXEC. You don't have to be a member of RosEXEC to make a valuable contribution to furthering the ideals of our community. Within RosEXEC, the Secretary for 2008 will be elected in the next week or so. Congratulations again to our new RosEXEC members for 2008. RosEXEC Membership Committee
