Call for Applications for HortResearch Travel Awards for USA-New Zealand Rosaceae Genomics Partnership Initiative

by Main, Doreen

Call for Applications for HortResearch Travel Awards for USA-New Zealand Rosaceae Genomics Partnership Initiative One of the recommendations from the NSF / MoRSTUSA - New Zealand Rosaceae Genomics Partnership Workshop, held in New Zealand in May 2006, following the 3 rd International Rosaceae Genomics Conference, was to encourage the exchange of young researchers between USA and New Zealand. In response to this, HortResearch offers partial funding to 2 young scientists currently working in USA laboratories, to work alongside genomics researchers in their laboratories in New Zealand. HortResearch is best-known for its apple genomics research and has developing programmes in Prunus, Rubus and Pyrus. The Fruit Genomics Group at HortResearch has an extensive collection of ESTs from apple, as well as from kiwifruit, blueberry and avocado. The major bioinformatics capability is complemented by re-sequencing, EST cloning, transient and stable transformation (apple, kiwifruit, tobacco and Arabidopsis), to identify the function of candidate genes , and also oligo arrays, proteomic and metabolomics platforms. Key horticultural production traits focus on bud break and flowering, while consumer trait research focuses on colour and health, as well as fruit texture. There is particular interest in discovering the regulatory genes (transcription factors) that may coordinate these complex horticultural traits. Research areas offering placements include: 'High throughput mapping /disease, tree and quality traits' - Sue Gardiner; 'Overgos' - Elena Hilario; 'Disease resistance cloning' - Erik Rikkerink; 'Microarrays' - Robert Schaffer; 'In situ hybridisation and immunolocalization' - Toshi Foster; 'Transient expression' - Roger Hellens; 'Transgenics' - Andy Allan; 'Protein expression; enzymology, proteomics' - William Laing; 'Breeding' - Vincent Bus, Richard Volz. Descriptions of team activities can be obtained from SGardiner(a)hortresearch.co.nz <mailto:SGardiner@hortresearch.co.nz> . General information on HortResearch can be found at http://www.hortresearch.co.nz <http://www.hortresearch.co.nz/> Applications are being solicited from young scientists (graduate students and postdocs or postdoc equivalents) working in US institutions involved in research in Rosaceae genomics, for funding of NZD 5000 plus bench fees to enable them to spend up to 1 month working with HortResearch Genomics research teams. Applications for these awards should be sent by e-mail to: SGardiner(a)hortresearch.co.nz <mailto:SGardiner@hortresearch.co.nz> by Friday 2 nd February 2007. Applications must include a cv and a letter from the applicant outlining the benefits of the proposed research visit to themselves and to Rosaceae genomics research in both the US and New Zealand. A letter of support from your advisor / supervisor must also be included. Applications will be evaluated by a screening committee comprised of NZ and US scientists. Priority will be given to applicants who can demonstrate that this opportunity will directly benefit their research experience in genomics of the Rosaceae. Minority applicants are encouraged to apply. Sue Gardiner will be available at PAG XV for discussions about the Travel Awards, along with Elena Hilario, Emily Buck and Jean-Marc Celton, also from HortResearch.

US RosEXEC elections

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… <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 (http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/gdr/gdr_rosexec_membership_2006_vote_for… <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. Amy Iezzoni is the outgoing and Kevin Folta is the incoming Chair. We will be meeting on 14 Jan, 2007, 8.00 am to 10.00 am at the XV PAG Conference, San Diego, USA. For more information see http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/ <http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/> Jim McFerson RosEXEC Membership Committee

Re: [GDR] Recommendations for Prunus QTL nomenclature

Personally, I think q-Mat would be sufficient, and I like simplicity. There are other ways to address the rest of that information. Just my opinion.
