Funded by the ERA-NET Plant Genomics (ERA-NET PG) consortium, vSEED is a three year project working toward a mathematical model of a germinating Arabidopsis seed. ERA-Net PG is a collaborative network composed of European ministries, funding organizations, and national research councils with research programs in the area of plant genomics (www.erapg.org). The network currently includes 23 partners in 17 European countries.
