Presentations at the ASPB meeting

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Hi Christophe,

I think the 2hr session is shaping up something like this

20 min-TAIR
20 min-SGN
20 min-Gramene
20 min-Ontologies (GO + PO)--> I suggest adding PO
20 min-Plant metabolic pathways
20 min-Questions and discussion.
	You can split this 20 min as 5 min after each presentation for
	questions and changeover of the speaker or everything towards
	the end.
