PLANT GENETIC RESEARCH CONSERVATION AND UTILIZATION

(WYO-400-05)

In response to the negative impacts of biotic and abiotic variables on crop production, a broad genetic base is critical for U. S. agriculture in the development of new cultivars or the improvement of existing ones. The most important output will be the continued provision of quality germplasm of the species maintained at this site and deliver to researchers worldwide. From the utilization of this germplasm both basic and applied research will result. This includes new cultivars, production of genetic maps, analyses of diversity, new medicinal plants, ornamentals, etc. and restoration or re-patriotization of germplasm to seed banks in countries from whence the original germplasm came.
