germplasm associations from SGN, MaizeGDB and NASC.

The following number of annotations were added for the first time:  
16016 gene annotations from TAIR, 3 gene annotations from Gramene, 2  
gene annotations from SGN and 3928 germplasm annotations from MaizeGDB.

For genes curated by TAIR and SGN, you may also find links to their  
Gene Ontology (GO) pages through PO browser.
