Tools and biological resources to study characters and traits in the Brassicaceae

我们的目标是开发一个关于十字花科分类、系统学、进化、染色体数量、所有物种、性状、性状和种质资源的准确计数的交叉参考信息和资源的在线数据库系统。芥菜科(十字花科、十字花科)的生物学、分子和进化知识呈指数增长。然而，由于该科复杂而压倒性的生物多样性，对于这个植物科的非专业人员来说，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，但很少有。生物材料和资源，无论是直接在野外采集的，还是保存在种质收藏中的，在分类上往往是错误的，很少被进一步描述和记录。尽管我们最近接近了一个可靠的系统发育框架，但也没有关于特征和特征分布的全家庭和全面的调查。为了弥补这些差距，并充分发挥十字花科植物的适应性特征和性状-性状进化的研究潜力，我们将提供整个十字花科的分类和系统学的全面文献。这将包括一个包含所有相关分类、系统和系统发生文献的数据库；一个关于性状和特征的综合数据收集，其中包括参加SSP 1529的科学家感兴趣的所有潜在适应特征；一个以DNA为基础的属和种鉴定工具；用于鉴定属和种的电子互动钥匙；以及一套精心挑选和记录在案的代表整个家族的种质收集。将进行基础研究，以便利用在项目期间收集的数据，对全家庭特征和特征的演变提供第一次和比较的见解。这里提供的结果和框架将成为其他项目的基础和起点，这些项目更详细地关注SSP 1529 Adaptomics内部和外部的个体特征和特征。

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.
