Hi Tine,

The biomaRt package queries a central webservice at EBI to determine
which BioMart database is available and how it can access it.  As soon
as Gramene is included in this central webservice,  it will be
automatically available for use with biomaRt.  You could ask the Gramene
developers and developers at http://www.biomart.org to include Gramene
in this system.

As long as Gramene is not in this central webservice biomaRt won't
detect it.  In this case you could still use the biomaRt package in
MySQL mode if there is public MySQL access to the BioMart database,
however as far as I know this is not the case for Gramene.

The last option is that you have a local installation of the Gramene
BioMart database and use biomaRt in MySQL mode to query it.

best,
Steffen
