Plant Breeding & Genomics CoP
• Outreach and education initiative of the Solanaceae Coordinated Agricultural Project (SolCAP)– NIFA funded project under the Plant Breeding, Genetics, and
Genomics Program
• Community of interest: public and private plant breeders and their staff (including researchers and educators)
• Includes leaders from eOrganic CoP
• Target audience - professional plant breeders and allied professionals
• Launched January, 2011
![Page 3: Putting Research into Practice: The Plant Breeding and Genomics Community of Practice](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54dab2314a795959628b4710/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Initial Community Survey• Prior to CoP formation
• Conducted by external evaluator
• IRB approved online survey
• Sent to SolCAP target audience– 108 tomato breeders and allied professionals responded– 66 potato breeders and allied professionals responded
• Baseline survey– Assess what audience is thinking about molecular markers
• Do they use?• Intention to use?• How confident are they in using them?
– Allows for future assessment of reported changes in behavior

Additional Training & Tools Recommended
• Self-reported comments• Training– Format: In-person workshops, online– Focus: new technologies, applied learning
• Tools– Databases that include marker information,
marker-trait associations, mapping information, sequence information
– i.e. tools to allow application of basic research

Goal of PBG CoP
Put genomics research and tools into practice through plant breeding by:• Presenting unbiased, science-based, and
peer-reviewed content• Sharing the most current, relevant, and
accurate information available on techniques, procedures, and software
• Show the community how• Fostering collaboration among members of
the plant breeding and genomics community
![Page 6: Putting Research into Practice: The Plant Breeding and Genomics Community of Practice](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54dab2314a795959628b4710/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Collaboration
• Currently collaborating with 3 other CAP projects
• Gives potential to reach wider professional audience, engage multiple communities of interest
