With CSREES funding, researchers have collaborated to design, create, and test genetically-modified Bt toxins that kill insects resistant to standard Bt toxins.
CSREES funding allows scientists to unlock the process of how bacteria transfer genetic material into the plant genome.
CSREES NRI Plant Genome program funded research identified a gene responsible for Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat.
CSREES NRI-funded project may lead to improved wheat production by identifying genes responsible for temperature tolerance.
A costly cereal crop disease is the target of CSREES-funded research
CSREES-funded research may help lessen the negative impact of ozone layer thinning on corn.
