TAIR/Plant Physiology collaboration

A unique partnership has been formed between Plant Physiology and TAIR to create an efficient mechanism that will ensure that genetic and molecular data on Arabidopsis published in the Journal are reliably captured in TAIR’s public database [Plant Physiology 146:1022-1023 (2008)]. This collaboration - the first of its kind - provides authors with the ability to submit manuscripts to the Journal for publication and gene information to the TAIR database at the same time. This partnership has allowed us to increase the annotation of articles published in Plant Physiology to nearly 100%. We hope this model can be extended to other journals, organisms, and databases.

Contribution to PAMGO Donghui Li has participated in the development of PAMGO, particularly the discussion involving programmed cell death. He is the co-author of a manuscript: Manipulation of programmed cell death during host-symbiont associations, Marcus C Chibucos, Candace W Collmer, Trudy Torto-Alalibo, Michelle Gwinn-Giglio, Magdalen Lindeberg, Donghui Li, Brett M Tyler1.
