The funding support from the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, for the project "Web- enabled database and analysis of gene sequences implicated in abiotic stress tolerance for screening gene homologues in salt tolerant tree species" and the support from the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education for the project " Identification of conserved motifs in genes conferring salt tolerance to develop strategies for gene isolation from salt tolerant tree species" are gratefully acknowledged.

IGBAAS acknowledges the use of sequence information and software applications from the following organisations. The database is now in the test phase. These organisations will be contacted for permissions before release of the beta version.
