My-Plant.org is a social networking community for plant biologists, educators and other interested parties to come together to share information and research, collaborate, and stay on top of the latest developments in plant science. Part of the iPlant Collaborative, My-Plant.org is a key part of the community outreach, education and collaboration goals of the iPlant project. The My-Plant network is organized based on the phylogeny of plants so that users can easily gather around clades of interest related to various species and groups of species. As such, members and visitors can browse the network and follow the relationships between clades to discover new communities and develop collaborations related to their own work. My-Plant is more than just another social networking site, My-Plant.org also provides integrations and links into other sites, tools and repositories of information both within iPlant and across the community as a whole. This includes connecting users to the iPlant Discovery Environment, the NCBI Taxonomic Database, the Tree of Life web project, TreeBASE, and the Encyclopedia of Life. My-Plant.org is currently under development and welcomes feedback from the community.
