PO Paper Winter 2011

Plans for a publication to detail the updates in the PO

-This is a priority for the fall to detail the changes in the PSO and promote its application

-We have been keeping track of the changes on the 'Summary of Changes' page

FIrst manuscript will target journal: 'Trends in Plant science' or 'Current Opinions in Plant Biology' may also consider 'Trends in Ecology and Evolution'

-Laurel and Ramona will prepare a summary preproposal (300-400 words) to be sent to Trends in Plant Science for their consideration. Focus will be on the benefits and usefulness of the PO, global perspective, links between PO and GO

-two papers to consider when writing this He et al, 2009 and Vincent etal, 2003

Second manuscript will be a full paper to Plant Physiology- Bioinformatics section, target date after the new year, once we complete more revisions. Use info from the grant proposal. Focus will be on updates to PO, and how it is now applicable to all plants.

-Compare to previous publication Ilic et al, Plant Phys.

TIPS paper

Ideas from PJ Apple-Pseudo fruit, microarray data,

florets in rice and compositae. Compare large scale sequencing data sets.

Look at Qifa Zhang rice datasets see microarry data Gene Expression Atlas

From Ramona (10/29/10)

Possible topics to include:

What the PO is and types of data available on PO (background information)

Potential uses of PO

-hot topics in plant genomics (I don't know what they are) and how the PO can help research in those areas

-systematics (character descriptions), see Teleost Anatomy Ontology paper.

-evolutionary studies of homology and convergence, evo-devo, GO-type analyses

-crop improvement for non-model species (trait descriptions and gene expression as in SGN or Generation Challenge Program, gene exploration for non-model species based on model organism database in PO)

Actual use cases

-Virtual Plant

-GCP

-SGN

-Traitnet

-others?

Recruiting more contributors

-use the article as a way to get encourage contribution of annotations from more groups

Plant Phys paper

Intro, results, methods:

Update on the changes to PO in the past 18 months, focus on how it is now applicable to all plants.

Challenges in incorporating such a phylogenetically broad group of species

Discussion:

how this will help move research forward in non-angiosperm model species and all non-model species

future directions
