Dear All,
I am deeply disappointed with this development (or rather lack of it!).
I had not yet attended any GDR meetings or formally collaborated with you but had been working towards that point. We have a relatively successful apple breeding program here in Western Australia (Cripps Pink, ie Pink Lady and Cripps Red, ie Sundowner among the releases). Although very much based on conventional breeding, we are developing molecular capacity and hoping to develop international collaboration. The withdrawal of funding for GDR is a setback for us all.
Kind regards, Mick

Dear Doreen
although I am just arrived in the Rosaceae world I can say you have done one of the best works ever seen. I hope things will go better again soon, in between thanks a lot for your efforts and nice collaboration initiative.
hopefully we will meet soon in Zaragoza, I will keep you and the community informed about the progress on apple genome.
best regards

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.
Cheers
Dorrie, Sook and Bert
