Notes from discussion meeting held at the Crucifer Genetics Workshop, 24th & 25th March 2002 Graham King Tom Osborn This discussion was well attended and followed on from previous workshop held at Plant Animal Genome X in January 2002 (see here). The discussion took place in two sessions - i) general and ii) specifically relating to plant resources. There was acceptance of the requirement for bringing together various national projects under the banner of "Multinational Brassica Genome Project" (MBGP). It was agreed than general information and lists/links to resources for the MBGP would be collated and placed on an information web site: http://www.brassica.info/ managed by Graham King and genome data and information would be made available through the Brassica Genome Gateway: http://brassica.nbi.ac.uk/ managed by Martin Trick.
Resources currently or imminently available were reviewed through short presentation/announcements. A summary is presented below. More detailed information is being collated at http://www.brassica.info/ . To facilitate this process, please provide any relevant information to graham.king@bbsrc.ac.uk, and check the website for regular updates. Information and discussion about resources can be disseminated via the associated mailing list (log on to web site to register as a member of this list). Where ever possible, details of sequence-tagged markers, map populations and scoring strings should be lodged in a public domain database - BrassicaDB currently stores such data - contact martin.trick@bbsrc.ac.uk At the meeting, the resources were presented by country – however, for ease of reading, they are presented here in tabular form by resource type.
(http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~plantbio/Facilities/abrc/abrchome.htm). There are limitations posed by the costs of regenerating some Brassica stocks, due to self-incompatibility, size, etc.
