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 – 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?
