Abstract

There is no comprehensive storage for generated mutants of Fusarium graminearum or data associated with these mutants. Instead, researchers relied on several independent and non-integrated databases. FgMutantDb was designed as a simple spreadsheet that is accessible globally on the web that will function as a centralized source of information on F. graminearum mutants. FgMutantDb aids in the maintenance and sharing of mutants within a research community. It will serve also as a platform for disseminating prepublication results as well as negative results that often go unreported. Additionally, the highly curated information on mutants in FgMutantDb will be shared with other databases (FungiDB, Ensembl, PhytoPath, and PHI-base) through updating reports. Here we describe the creation and potential usefulness of FgMutantDb to the F. graminearum research community, and provide a tutorial on its use. This type of database could be easily emulated for other fungal species.

Funding

FgMutantDb would not have been possible without the contributions made by Dr. Jin-Rong Xu (Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA). Thanks to Dr. Linda Harris for naming the database FgMutantDb and to all the Fusarium graminearum community researchers for supplying mutant information and expanding database records. The generation of FgMutantDb was partially funded by USDA-ARS Project 2050-21000-031-00 and by the US Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative project Down with DON: Stable Expression of Proven Genes in a Marker-Free Background . The USDA-ARS is an equal opportunity employer. Rothamsted Research receives grant-aided support from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), UK, as part of the Institute Strategic Programme grants 20:20 wheat [ BB/J/00426X/1 ] and Designing Future Wheat [ BB/P016855/1 ]. Neil Brown was supported by the BBSRC Future Leader Fellowship [ BB/N011686/1 ]. PHI-base receives support from the BBSRC as a National Capability [ BB/J/004383/1 ] and the PhytoPath1 and PhytoPath2 projects [ BB/I000488/1 and BB/K020056/1 ]. Appendix A
