maize mutant phenotypes

This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
====== Developer's To-do list ======

  - Fix images listed below
  - Add "how to use this site" page
  - Add attention getting message with arrow pointing to search box saying something like "Search for your favorite mutant by entering search terms here"
  - Extract mutagenic method from progeny info (PT field) so that we can know all the categories.
  - Make start page like Bing, with large image filling the screen and a search box.
    - About this site, etc could be little links near the bottom.

===== Roadmap =====

  - Invite local testers
  - Construct complete table of existing MaizeGDB Variation IDs and/or phenotype IDs for each mutant.
  - Construct complementary list of mutants that have no such corresponding IDs.
  - Automate update process
    - Automate posting pages
    - Automate backup of ACCESS database (use AT?)
    - Automate daily and/or weekly updates?
  - Set up a system for adding new content
    - Come up with “standard” form for submitting images and descriptions
      - Required information
        - Researcher contact information
        - For each image
          - File name
          - Gene name
          - Phenotype name
          - Phenotype description
          - Caption
      - If available please provide the following
        - Genetic information
          - Originating individual ID (i.e. your internal unique ID)
          - Designated gene symbol
          - Physical location
            - Genomic
            - Chromosomal
          - Allelic information
          - Experimental information confirming the mutation
        - MaizeGDB Variation ID

===== Issues =====


  - Images completely missing
    - [[ :reduced_endosperm ]] (fixed upon page regeneration)
    - [[ :reduced_floury_endosperm ]] (fixed upon page regeneration)
    - [[ :anthocyaninless_dt ]] (TODO)
  - Images uploaded (need smaller uploaded photos so that page times are reasonable on slow connections)
    - [[ :B chromosome ]]
    - [[ :intensifier ]]
    - [[ :red_aleurone ]]
    - [[ :red_color ]]
    - [[ :shrunken ]]
    - [[ :sugary ]]
    - [[ :telocentric_chromosome ]]
    - [[ :trisomic_chromosome_3 ]]
    - [[ :virescent_mutable ]]
    - [[ :waxy ]]
    - [[ :white_endosperm ]]
  - One or more old images currently being used for (list is far from complete)
    - [[ :anthocyanin accumulation ]]
    - [[ :barren_inflorescence ]]
    - [[ :brown kernel ]]
    - [[ :brown midrib ]]
    - [[ :chocolate pericarp ]]
    - [[ :clear patches ]]
    - [[ :collapsed color mosaic ]]
    - [[ :collapsed defective kernel ]]
    - [[ :collapsed mosaic kernel palegreen striped seedling ]]
    - [[ :crinkled leaf small plant ]]
    - [[ :virescent ]]
  - Images that are rotated when viewed on iPhone, but not Chrome
    - [[ :tassel seed ]]
  - Modify captions to emphasize that the normal images are normal
    - [[ :roothair defective ]]
  - Update to newer version
    - [[ :teopod ]]

===== Additional Issues =====

  - Get original photo from CD:
    - http://images.maizegdb.org/db_images/Variation/mgn/5133_2022_0662_62.jpg
  - Fix automatic matching of MaizeGDB variation IDs
    - viviparous
    - pigmy
  - Finish adding links to MaizeGDB variation pages
  - Automate process of updating pages
  - Add tags based on defined phenotypes
  - Create pages that display all of the content for individual tags
  - Exclude tag-based pages from search index so that there will not be duplicate hits to the same content
  - Replace images that have been edited since Oct 2012.
  - Crop images (if still needed after updating images)
    - http://images.maizegdb.org/db_images/Variation/mgn/downsized/7099_3173_2577_38.jpg
  - Add wikitionary links to terms that are likely for people to not be familiar with (e.g. andromonecious)
  - Hide developer sidebar (unless logged on). The biggest problem is the “show source” icon looks like a search icon.

Miscellaneous
  - Find out about monitoring page hits
  - Advisory board

Update photos on the following pages:

This photo is fine online (http://images.maizegdb.org/db_images/Variation/mgn/5133_2022_0662_62.jpg). The version at "Research Images\maize\WalMart CDs\5133-2022-0662\5133-2022-0662-62.jpg" is over-color corrected.
