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?
