Plant phenotypic data shrouds a wealth of information which, when accurately analysed and linked to other types, brings light the knowledge about mechanisms life. As phenotyping is field research comprising manifold, diverse time-consuming experiments, findings can be fostered by reusing combining existing datasets. Their correct interpretation, thus replicability, comparability interoperability, possible provided that collected observations are equipped with an adequate set metadata. So far...
Enabling data reuse and knowledge discovery is increasingly critical in modern science, requires an effort towards standardising publication practices. This particularly challenging the plant phenotyping domain, due to its complexity heterogeneity. We have produced MIAPPE 1.1 release, which enhances existing standard coverage, support perennial plants, structure, through explicit model, clarity, definitions examples. evaluated by using it express several heterogeneous experiments a range of...
Plant genomics and phenomics represents the most promising tools for accelerating yield gains overcoming emerging crop productivity bottlenecks. However, accessing this wealth of plant diversity requires characterization material using state-of-the-art genomic, phenomic molecular technologies release subsequent research data via a long-term stable, open-access portal. Although several international consortia public resource centres offer services management, valuable digital assets remains...
The life-science community faces a major challenge in handling "big data", highlighting the need for high quality infrastructures capable of sharing and publishing research data. Data preservation, analysis, publication are three pillars data life cycle". currently available managing often designed to meet domain-specific or project-specific requirements, resulting repeated development proprietary solutions lower preservation overall.e!DAL is lightweight software framework Its main features...
Abstract Background Image-based high-throughput phenotyping technologies have been rapidly developed in plant science recently, and they provide a great potential to gain more valuable information than traditionally destructive methods. Predicting biomass is regarded as key purpose for breeders ecologists. However, it challenge find predictive model across experiments. Results In the present study, we constructed 4 models examine quantitative relationship between image-based features...
Genebanks harbor a large treasure trove of untapped plant genetic diversity. A growing world population and changing climate require an increase in the production development stress resistant cultivars while decreasing acreage. These requirements for improved can be supported by broader exploitation resources (PGR) as inputs genomics-assisted breeding. To support this process we have developed BRIDGE, data warehouse exploratory analysis tool genebank genomics barley. Using efficient...
As part of the BioHackathon Europe 2024, we here report on progress that both project 19 and 24 have made during event. For purpose this will present abstract projects then dive deeper what work was done BioHackathon.
The primary goal of this project is to develop a web application for creating data usage agreements (DUA) in way that allows automated evaluation access permissions. Specifically, we want adhere the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) standard [1] and model permissions prohibitions use digital objects. ODRL policy expression language developed adopted by W3C. It provides flexible interoperable vocabulary enable fine-grained statements about content services. Recently, Data Governance Act...
This article describes some use case studies and self-assessments of FAIR status de.NBI services to illustrate the challenges requirements for definition needs adhering (findable, accessible, interoperable reusable) data principles in a large distributed bioinformatics infrastructure. We address challenge heterogeneity wet lab technologies, data, metadata, software, computational workflows levels implementation monitoring within different sub-disciplines joint de.NBI. On one hand, this broad...
Gene pairs resulting from whole genome duplication (WGD), so-called ohnologous genes, are retained if at least one member of the pair undergoes neo- or sub-functionalization. Phylogenetic analyses genes ALBOSTRIANS ( HvAST/HvCMF7 ) and A LBO S TRIANS- L IKE HvASL / HvCMF3 barley Hordeum vulgare revealed them as members a subfamily coding for CCT motif C ONSTANS, ONSTANS-LIKE T IMING OF CAB1) proteins characterized by single domain putative N-terminal chloroplast transit peptide. Recently, we...
Genebanks are valuable sources of genetic diversity, which can help to cope with future problems global food security caused by a continuously growing population, stagnating yields and climate change. However, the scarcity phenotypic genotypic characterization genebank accessions severely restricts their use in plant breeding. To warrant seed integrity individual during periodical regeneration cycles field characterizations performed. This study provides non-orthogonal historical data 12,754...
Abstract The scarce knowledge on phenotypic characterization restricts the usage of genetic diversity plant resources in research and breeding. We describe original ready-to-use processed data for approximately 60% ~22,000 barley accessions hosted at Federal ex situ Genebank Agricultural Horticultural Plant Species. dataset gathers records three traits with agronomic relevance: flowering time, height thousand grain weight. This information was collected seven decades winter spring during...
Abstract Agriculture is confronted with several challenges such as climate change, the loss of biodiversity and stagnating productivity. The massive increasing amount data new digital technologies promise to overcome them, but they necessitate careful integration management make them usable. FAIRagro consortium part National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in Germany will develop FAIR compliant infrastructure services for agrosystems science community, which be integrated existing...
Abstract Background The FAIR data principle as a commitment to support long-term research management is widely accepted in the scientific community. Although ELIXIR Core Data Resources and other established infrastructures provide comprehensive stable services platforms for management, large quantity of still hidden or at risk getting lost. Currently, high-throughput plant genomics phenomics technologies are producing abundance, storage which not covered by core databases. This concerns...
A prevailing paradigm in Research Data Management (RDM) is to publish research datasets designated archives upon conclusion of a process. However, it beneficial abandon the notion final or static data artifacts and instead adopt continuous approach towards working with data, where constantly shared, versioned, updated. This immutable yet evolving perspective allows for application existing technologies processes from software engineering, such as integration, release practices, version...
Genetic variance within the genotype of population and its mapping to phenotype in a systematic high throughput manner is interest for biodiversity breeding research. Beside established efficient technologies, capabilities got increased focus last decade. This results an increasing amount data from well scaling, automated sensor platform. Thus, stewardship central component make experimental multiple domains interoperable re-usable. To ensure standard comprehensive sharing scientific among...
