Systematic documentation and publication of such data, cross-linked to related|information in public online international plant databases is a major institutional challenge.|In this poster, we give a broad overview of data sets under curation at IRRI, highlighting key curatorial|issues including semantic codification (?rice ontology?), database representation, analysis protocols and end|user tools. In particular, we will show the ongoing evolution of germplasm genotype and phenotype data, in|its relation to genetic and genomic information available from public plant genome projects, by direct|comparison to the rice genome, or indirect comparative analysis to other plant species T2 - Biocuration 2010 : The Conference of the International Society for Biocuration & The 4th International Biocuration Conference, 11-14 October 2010 AIST Tokyo Waterfront & Tokyo International Exchange Center Odaiba, Tokyo ER -
