1. Why are we all here? To define the functionalities we would like to see in a cyberinfrastructure that supports investigations into the Mechanisms of Plant Adaptation Plant Adaptation iPlant Workshop INTRODUCTION David E Salt

2. What is the expected outcome of this workshop? To gather enough information and people to develop a Grand Challenge Proposal to submit to iPlant by February 1st Plant Adaptation iPlant Workshop INTRODUCTION David E Salt

3. What is the long term goal of this workshop? To convince iPlant to build, deploy and maintain a cyberinfrastructure for our community Plant Adaptation iPlant Workshop INTRODUCTION David E Salt

4. The workshop is built around 7 themes that we will need to define for a cyberinfrastructure • Organisms, phenotypes and other data types (soil, temp, rain, wind etc) to be represented (both existing and new). • Existing and new data sets that need to be incorporated. • Formalized data acquisition platforms to support data collection in the laboratory, field and across sites. • Data analysis tools that would be needed, including next generation sequencing data. • Modeling tools for hypothesis generation and annotation. • Data visualization tools for data integration in 4D (spatial and temporal). • Educational outreach strategies Plant Adaptation iPlant Workshop INTRODUCTION David E Salt

5. Session - Introduction Note taker Kolby Jardine 8:30 - 9:00AM Goals and deliverables of the workshop, and overview of theorganization and agenda of the workshop. Presenter: David E Salt. 9:00 – 9:30AM The Grand Challenge: Mechanistic Basis of Plant Adaptation Presenter: John Willis 9:30-10:00AM Discussion – Chair John Willis 1. Identification of research questions within the GC. 2. Identification of barriers that could be overcome with additional datasets. 3. Identification of barriers that currently prevent effective utilization of available data. 4. Identification of Education, Outreach and Training opportunities related to potential GC questions in this field. 10:00-10:30AM Tea/Coffee Break 10:30-11:15AM Demo of existing cyberinfrastructures Michael McLennan – NanoHUB http://www.nanohub.org/ Damian Gessler Simple Semantic Web Architecture and Protocol (SSWAP) and Virtual Plant Information Network (VPIN) http://sswap.info/and http://vpin.ncgr.org/ Graham McLaren - International Crop Information System. 11:15-12:00AM Presentation of a draft of the proposed cyberinfrastructure functionalities as a starting point for discussion.
