Research Project:
Ornamental Plant Germplasm Center
Location:
Plant Introduction Research
Project Number: 3625-21000-044-09
Project Type:
Specific C/A
Start Date: Sep 28, 2004
End Date: Aug 31, 2005
Objective:
To conserve, distribute, and assess ornamental plant germplasm and develop new technologies and protocols for conserving seed and clonally-propagated germplasm for effective utilization in agriculture.
Approach:
Develop more rapid and efficient methods for conserving germplasm, for identifying useful properties of genes and genomes, and for rapidly and efficiently manipulating genetic and genomic material and information. New approaches to the characterization and biosystematic classification of ornamental germplasm and for the application of new biotechnoogies will support the development of new floral and nursery crops.
