Our lab group strives to make our data publicly accessible, in recognition of the importance of sharing data across space and time with colleagues to propel our field forward.  For more information, please see Theresa’s editorial in Application in Plant Sciences here.

All that we ask is that you please acknowledge where these data originated (i.e., please cite our original paper).  Our datasets are available on repositories such as Dryad and Scholar@UC.
