Dear Colleague,

If you are attending PAG XIX, San Diego this year, I invite you to attend the PAG Plant Phenotypes Workshop Sunday Jan 16 8-10:10 am Pacific Salon 1, and also to visit Exhibit Booth #427 PAG XIX Outreach Consortium for Plant Genome Data Resources.

At the WORKSHOP, there will be a panel discussion about phenotype data resources. Towards that end, we would greatly appreciate if you would spend 10-15 minutes to take a survey of your data needs. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PlantPhenotypeWorkshop2011
