In developing this document, the Interagency Working Group on Plant Genomes (IWG) has solicited and collected input from many sources. The following are some of the workshops and reports that the IWG considered in developing the NPGI plan for 2003-2008.

  • USDA/ASPB CSREES plant genome stakeholders workshop, November 2002 (http://www.aspb.org/publicaffairs/stakeholders/)

  • Meeting of International Rice Functional Genomics Working Group at the International Rice Congress, Beijing, September 2002

  • White Paper on Medicago truncatula genome initiative, September 2002

In addition, a number of workshop reports and position papers on various genomics subjects have been published or electronically posted, including microarray data handling (December 2001 and September 2002), next generation technology for genome sequencing (July 2002), international genome sequencing consortium (January 2002), and broadening participation in genome research (April 2002). Many of these reports were part of the planning activities of the National Human Genome Research Institute and can be found at their website, http://www.genome.gov/Page.cfm?pageID=10001312.
