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.

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

RosEXEC elections - last chance to vote!

by Peace, Cameron

Dear Rosaceae GGB community, Only one day left for voting for five new U.S. RosEXEC members and two RosEXEC international liaisons. Polls close 5:00 pm PST (Friday April 4). Anyone that is U.S.-based and interested in genomics, genetics, and/or breeding of rosaceous crops is eligible to vote. Conceivably, this includes about 200 million people, but it at least includes industry personnel, educators, extension agents, administrators, students, and avid consumers, in addition to the 25 mostly genomicists, geneticists, and breeders who have already voted. So if you have not yet expressed your preferences, please hop on to www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/gdr/gdr_rosexec_membership_2008_vote_form.cgi <https://connect.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.bioinfo.wsu.ed…> and vote! Please also direct your Rosaceae GGB colleagues to this site (and encourage them to also sign up for the GDR mailing list if they aren't already on it). Across the country, we all have a voice in future directions of the U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding initiative. Currently, only one vote separates U.S. candidates running 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Only one vote also separates 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions for international liaison candidates. Each new vote WILL COUNT! The RosEXEC Membership Committee

International Working Group on Comparative Mapping

by Dan Sargent (EMR)

Dear Rosaceous Genomics Community members. During the recent Rosaceous Genomics Conference in Chile, it was decided that there should be a coordinated community effort towards comparative mapping, and that we should set up an international working group to attempt to meet these aims. I volunteered to act as interim chair of this working group whilst it is established and therefore I am currently drawing up a list of people from the community with an interest in comparative mapping and transferable markers with whom I will communicate over the coming weeks. I have already identified a number of people within the community who are working on topics related to comparative mapping, but I want to be as inclusive as possible, so if you have a wish to be a part of any correspondence relating to this working group and/or want to be involved in this community effort, then please could you email me at dan.sargent(a)emr.ac.uk? Once I have a list of interested people, I will be contacting you further. Ideally I would like to have responses from interested parties by the end of next week (11th April 2008) so that I can get some kind of GDR mailing list sorted out etc. I will look forward to hearing from you all in the near future, All the best Dan Sargent Dr Daniel James Sargent East Malling Research New Road East Malling Kent ME19 6BJ, UK dan.sargent(a)emr.ac.uk Telephone: +44 (0) 1732 523 747 Fax: +44 (0) 1732 849 067 East Malling Research registered office: New Road, East Malling, Kent ME19 6BJ.
