Phenotypes
We accept phenotype data for all mapped and/or sequenced Arabidopsis mutants, including existing ABRC stocks, stocks from other stock centers, and lines that have not been deposited in a public repository. If you are submitting phenotype data for stocks not in ABRC we encourage you to consider also submitting the seed stock.
Please submit your phenotype data in one of the following ways:
Option 1) Use a preformatted Excel spreadsheet. To submit your data, please download and complete the following Excel spreadsheet. Examples are provided for each column. Send completed files to: curator@arabidopsis.org
Download: phenotype_data_form.xls (CHANGE LINK)
Option 2) Send tab-delimited data from any program. If you want to create your own file please follow the following format in submitting your data and send the files to: curator@arabidopsis.org. Please include the column headers as the first line in your files.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at: curator@arabidopsis.org
Description of column headers
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Contact Person | Please provide name and email of the contact person/corresponding author |
| Reference (Pubmed ID, DOI, or other format) | PMID: 18485063 - we prefer Pubmed ID, but the following format without Pubmed ID is OK too:Plant J (2008), 55: 798 |
| Allele Symbol / Polymorphism Name | For example: rpp3, rpp4(SALK_12345), atswc6(SAIL_1142_C03) |
| Accession | Example, Ws, Col-0 |
| Locus | If this polymorphism is an allele of a locus, enter the unique locus code here. Otherwise, leave empty. Example: AT4G32520 |
| Mutagen | EMS, X-rays, T-DNA insertion, transposon, fast neutron etc. |
| Mutation Site | Please describe the mutation site (3rd intron, 2nd exon, promoter, 3'UTR, 5'UTR etc). Please also give details of the mutation if known (for instance, contains a G to A subsitution at nucleotide position 123) |
| Genotype | Select from homozygous, heterozygous, hemizygous, and unknown. |
| Inheritance | Select from dominant, recessive, incompletely dominant, co-dominant, and unknown. |
| Allele Mode | Select from hypermorphic, hypomorphic, haplo-insufficient, antimorphic, gain-of-function, loss-of-function, and unknown. |
| Phenotype | Please provide a brief description of the mutant phenotype. Note: please specify if the phenotype is for double/triple mutants (for example, mop3/mop4). |
Protocols
TAIR encourages the research community to share their protocols. To submit a protocol to TAIR, send the protocol in one of the following formats.
Portable Document Format (PDF)
Microsoft Word Document (.doc)
Image (e.g. for powerpoint/photoshop images)- .gif and .jpg
Any text file .txt and .rtf
Along with the above file, please send in additional data following the format below to: curator@arabidopsis.org. Fields indicated in blue are required. Fields marked with an asterisk(*) can have more than one entry but the entries must be separated by a semicolon.
To find your Community ID and the Citation/Reference ID please follow the provided links to our TAIR search pages. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at: curator@arabidopsis.org
