Plant Genome Research (Image 2)
Among the projects funded as part of this year's Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) will be an interdisciplinary effort led by the University of Maryland at College Park that will use research findings from Arabidopsis studies to guide a study on cell type-specific gene networks in Brassica, that mediate responses to drought. The National Science Foundation made 28 new awards totaling $101.9 million during the 13th year of the program.
