Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Announces $7 Million In Funding For Agricultural Plant Genomics, Genetics And Breeding Research
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced more than $7 million in grants for research on the biology of plant processes and traits which can be used to breed crops with enhanced value and resilience to climate stress. The research will increase understanding of plant biology from the genome to the field, and provide a foundation for the development of plant varieties with increased yield, reduced production cost, and enhanced quality and nutritional value.
