Biocuration of rice genes and pathways by OSU undergraduates

Plant Reactome is the pathway portal of Gramene knowledgebase.We combine manual biocuration and gene-orthology based automated projections to provide conceptual framework of system-level plant pathway networks for 106 species of photoautotrophs, including models, crops and species of evolutionary interests.

Opportunity to share your perspective on Ag Microbiome Research

Dear Gramene Community

We hope this email finds you all well during this challenging time. The Agricultural Microbiomes Research Coordination Network (Ag Microbiomes RCN) is launching a community-wide survey to assess the current state of the science in our field. Specifically, we seek to assess perspectives of the research community on perceived accomplishments, outstanding gaps, priority goals, and critical needs for the future of agricultural microbiome science.
