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.

RE: [GDR] GDR Renewal

by Arús, Pere

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.

Ontology development for Rosaceae

by Sook Jung

Dear colleagues, GDR will be trying to more actively incorporate ontology terms to describe traits/QTLs and also to further develop the terms required for Rosaceae, in collaboration with Plant Ontology Consortium (www.plantontology.org) and gramene. Inputs from researchers like you will be of great help for this effort, so we'd appreciate if you can share your expertise in this effort. Below is the excerpt from an email sent by Dr. Chih-Wei Tung, a POC curator. "To start this collaboration, POC researchers encouraged Rosaceae researchers to browse and search current plant ontology ( www.plantontology.org/amigo/go.cgi), as well as trait ontology ( www.gramene.org/db/ontology/search_term?id=TO:0000387), your feedback is very important for us to know what type of terms are missing or what types of terms can be modified or add as synonyms to existing ontologies, these are the information we'd really like to know from experts in Roseaceae community. If you know of any references (books, websites, etc.) which can helps us to understand the morphology, developmental stage, as well as phenotypes of Rosaceae, please share with us, this will serve as a starting point for POC curators to be familiar with these two families and facilitate us to curate new terms when needed. Thank you so much! " You can post your opinions in GDR mailing list (gdr-list(a)bioinfo.wsu.edu) so that we can share and discuss the suggestion. If needed, we can make a separate mailing list for this purpose. Thank you, Sook Jung

US RosEXEC Elections Voting Reminder

by Main, Doreen

RosEXEC ELECTIONS The US Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, & Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC) will be electing five new members to replace its five outgoing members prior to PAG15. RosEXEC was organized in 2006 to serve as a communication and coordination focal point for the U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding community. We have four objectives: 1. Define research priorities based on input from the industry and the research community 2. Foster scientific interaction and dynamic research teams 3. Promote research priorities 4. Coordinate educational efforts from the research community to the industry and the public A list of the existing USRosEXEC members can be found on GDR at http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/membership/index.shtml Elections will be held electronically via the GDR at http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/gdr/gdr_rosexec_membership_2006_vote_for… The process is open to Rosaceae researchers currently based in the U.S., regardless of citizenship. Only one vote can be cast per candidate. Please strive to represent the diversity of our community by electing candidates from various crop interests, institutional affiliation, and geographic location. The US RosEXEC Membership Committee has suggested some candidates on the voting form posted on the GDR at http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/gdr/gdr_rosexec_membership_2006_vote_for… but we urge interested community members to nominate other qualified candidates (also can be done via the voting page) or direct questions to Jim McFerson (mcferson(a)treefruitresearch.com <mailto:mcferson@treefruitresearch.com> ). Outgoing RosEXEC members are eligible for re-election to a new three year term. Please note that you can also nominate and vote on up to 4 members as international liasons for the US RosEXEC. If you have any problems using the voting page, please email Dorrie Main (dorrie(a)wsu.edu). The deadline for voting is 13 Jan 2007, 5pm PST. New members will be selected by vote totals and will serve three year terms. RosEXEC meets in person at the PAG and holds quarterly teleconferences.
