Other Plants

Agricultural Genome World Wide Web Server - National Agricultural Library - USDA - The Agricultural Genome World Wide Web Server (AGWWW) is a service provided by the USDA, National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland, USA. Funding is provided through the USDA, National Genetic Resources Program. The information contained on the server consists of genome information for agriculturally important organisms. At this time, most of the information is provided through the USDA Plant Genome Program, although there is some animal genome information. In time, the server will contain information about insects and microorganisms.

Note that, although we have restricted ourselves to "agriculturally important" species, defining the set of organisms that are "important" to the agricultural community is difficult at best. Certainly, the food commodities fall into that set as well as plant and animal pathogens. However, data may be available for other species which can help reveal information about the "core" species. One such example is Arabidopsis which is important as a model organism for all plants. So, rule of thumb is that we will maintain information on all species that are important to the agricultural community as well as related species for which there are no other data sources that are easily accessible.
