  The iPlant Collaborative (iPlant) is a United States National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project that aims to create an innovative

  comprehensive

  and foundational cyberinfrastructure in support of plant biology research (PSCIC

  2006). iPlant is developing cyberinfrastructure that uniquely enables scientists throughout the diverse fields that comprise plant biology to address Grand Challenges in new ways

  to stimulate and facilitate cross-disciplinary research

  to promote biology and computer science research interactions

  and to train the next generation of scientists on the use of cyberinfrastructure in research and education. Meeting humanity's projected demands for agricultural and forest products and the expectation that natural ecosystems be managed sustainably will require synergies from the application of information technologies. The iPlant cyberinfrastructure design is based on an unprecedented period of research community input

  and leverages developments in high-performance computing

  data storage

  and cyberinfrastructure for the physical sciences. iPlant is an open-source project with application programming interfaces that allow the community to extend the infrastructure to meet its needs. iPlant is sponsoring community-driven workshops addressing specific scientific questions via analysis tool integration and hypothesis testing. These workshops teach researchers how to add bioinformatics tools and/or datasets into the iPlant cyberinfrastructure enabling plant scientists to perform complex analyses on large datasets without the need to master the command-line or high-performance computational services.

  The iPlant Collaborative: Cyberinfrastructure for Plant Biology.

  Software engineering and simulation development for a new approach to genotype*environment analysis for better matching of seeds to field -- for smallholders and everyone else.
