This activity was initiated in 2019, developing an “Ecosystem Viewer” module for the ePlant system, developed by the Provart Lab available at the Bio-Analytic Resource for Plant Biology (BAR) for Arabidopsis data and is expected to be complete at the end of the year, with the roll-out of a Spruce ePlant (Provart Lab) with an Ecosystem Viewer module, being developed in the Ensminger Lab.

This will enable accessing the various databases and retrieving data to support estimating genetic parameters (genetic correlations, heritability), and explore environmental, phenotypic and natural variation from field experiments.
