Plant Working Group Great variety of needs and approaches – Ecology – Systematics – Genetics/genomics Great variety of species of interest – ‘Model ‘ plants for genetic approaches – Crop plants – Models for ecological studies – Plants of evolutionary interest – Models for population biology Great enthusiasm!
Plant Working Group - Resources Ontologies High throughput phenotyping projects Other Projects – Coordination – Resource development
Plant Resources - Ontologies Plant Ontology Crop Ontology Trait Ontology OBOE / Plant Functional Trait Ontology many others…
Plant Resources – HTP Phenotyping Jülich Plant Phenotyping Center (Germany) Australian Plant Phenomics Facility AGRON-OMICS (Europe) Phenoscope (France)
Plant Resources – Other projects TraitNet (RCN) International Plant Phenomics Network iPlant Genotype to Phenotype (iPG2P) Gigavision (Justin Borevitz, Chicago) Gigavision
Plant Working Group – Questions Large and diverse group of researchers with lots of active projects – Should we aim for one plant ontology? interoperability? common data formats? – What tools and methods need to be developed? – How much can we share the work of developing them?
