Abstract
The Brassica research and end-user breeding community have identified a number of important gaps in knowledge and technology that currently limit full exploitation through to oilseed and vegetable crop improvement. Making key experimental resources and information available in a usable form, and filling current technology and knowledge gaps will contribute to the ability of the UK Brassica Crop Science and plant science communities to deliver tangible benefits from previous investment, and in particular help translate information from model plants to crops. Filling the limited number of 'gaps' in key forward and reverse genetic experimental resources will ensure the UK remains competitive, and underpin trait-based projects as part of the pipeline to crop improvement. The specific objectives are to: 1. Identify and secure a comprehensive integrated set of public domain Brassica experimental resources and data 2. Adopt agreed standards for data description, curation and exchange 3. Provide access to experimental materials and datasets for forward genetics, including integrated linkage maps and trait data 4. Establish reverse genetics tools that maximise the ability to translate information from the complete B. rapa sequence to UK-relevant crop traits.
