We aim to develop an online database system of cross-referenced information and resources on Brassicaceae taxonomy, systematics, evolution, chromosome numbers, accurate enumeration of all species, traits,characters, and germplasm resources. Biological, molecular and evolutionary knowledge is exponentially increasing in the mustard family (Brassicaceae, Cruciferae). However, because of the complex and overwhelming biological diversity in the family, it is difficult for non-specialists in this plant family to put any research result in a larger evolutionary framework. Many species are remarkable study objects but rarely available. Biological material and resources, either collected directly in the wild or held in germplasm collections, are often taxonomically mis-identified and very rarely are further characterized and documented. There is also no family-wide and comprehensive survey of character and trait distribution despite the fact that we approached a reliable phylogenetic framework quite recently. In order to close these various gaps and provide the full potential of research focusing on the adaptive characters and character-trait evolution in the Brassicaceae, we will provide a comprehensive documentation of the taxonomy and systematics of the entire family. This will include a database with all the relevant taxonomic, systematic and phylogenetic literature; a comprehensive data collection of characters and traits including all potentially adaptive traits in which interested are scientists participating in SSP 1529; a DNA-based identification tool for genera and species; electronic interactive keys for the identification of genera and species, and a setup of a carefully selected and documented germplasm collection representing the entire family. Basic research will be conducted to provide first and comparative insights into the evolution of family-wide characters and traits utilizing also the data collected during the project. The results and framework provided herein will be the basis and starting point for other projects focusing in more details on individual characters and traits, inside and outside SSP 1529 Adaptomics.

我们的目标是开发一个在线数据库系统，包含十字花科分类、系统学、进化、染色体数量、所有物种的准确计数、性状、特征和种质资源的交叉引用信息和资源。生物学、分子和进化知识在芥菜科（十字花科，十字花科）中呈指数增长。然而，由于该科的复杂和压倒性的生物多样性，对于该植物科的非专家来说，很难将任何研究结果放在更大的进化框架中。许多物种是值得注意的研究对象，但很少可用。生物材料和资源，无论是直接收集在野外或保存在种质收集，往往是分类错误的识别，很少有进一步的特点和记录。也没有家庭范围内的和全面的调查的性格和性状的分布，尽管事实上，我们接近一个可靠的系统发育框架相当近。为了缩小这些不同的差距，并提供研究的充分潜力，重点是适应性的特点和性状性状的进化在菊科，我们将提供一个全面的文件的分类和系统学的整个家庭。这将包括一个拥有所有相关分类学、系统学和系统发生学文献的数据库;一个包括所有潜在适应性特征在内的特征和性状的综合数据集，参与SSP 1529的科学家对此感兴趣;一个基于DNA的属和种鉴定工具;用于识别属和种的电子交互式密钥，以及代表整个科的精心选择和记录的种质收集的设置。将进行基础研究，利用项目期间收集的数据，对整个家族的性状和特征的演变提供第一和比较性的见解。本文提供的结果和框架将成为其他项目的基础和起点，这些项目将更详细地关注SSP 1529 Adaptomics内外的个体特征和性状。
