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. Our annotation of Arabidopsis papers published in Plant Physiology has increased from 25% (2006 to 2007) to nearly 100% since May 2008. We hope this model can be extended to other journals, organisms, and databases.

The following table summarizes the results of this collaboration so far:

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.
