The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.
This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Introduction: Simulations using crop models can assist in designing ideotypes for current and future agricultural conditions. This approach has been often in recent years to identify avenues for adapting wheat to climate change. However, this approach has rarely been used to guide commercial breeding programs. We hypothesize that the lack of link between models and the available tools for breeding, i.e. available genetic variability and selection methods. Materials and methods: - We use a modified ARCWHEAT2 phenology model and future climate data from the ARPEGE global circulation model to identify targets for future phenologies - We genotyped over 400 French cultivars for known phenology genes and confronted the genetic make-up of these varieties to their success in France over the past 25 years - We developed a methodology to link model parameters to underlying marker data. We tested the performance of the methodology against circa 60 varieties Results: - Earlier phenology may be an avenue for stress avoidance in the future. - Current photoperiod sensitivity of early cultivars already poses problems in terms of adaptation, as exemplified by the interaction between Ppd-D1 and Vrn-A3 We show that a gene-based model can be used to predict wheat phenology without a significant loss in predictive performance. Discussion : Analyzing current phenology genes of existing cultivars and their adaptation allowed us to identify a limit to past breeding efforts in obtaining early cultivars. This requires that a more knowledge based approach be taken. Gene-based modelling of phenology is possible on a collection of elite, adapted varieties and provides the tools for constructing genotypes with specific allelic combinations leading to more appropriate constructions of earliness.
