- Center for Soybean Tissue Culture and Genetic Engineering
- The United Soybean Board has established this Center to bring together the expertise of three principal investigators with extensive backgrounds in soybean regeneration and genetic engineering, so that they may pool their expertise to develop and refine one or more complete genetic engineering systems for soybean, with the final goal that genetic engineering can become routine and affordable for use in soybean improvement.
- National Corn Genome Initiative
- The goal of the National Corn Genome Initiative is to improve profitability and sustainability in the corn industry. Using genomic technology, the genetic blueprint and function of the estimated 40,000 genes of corn will be determined. This is an applied, directed research program conducted by geneticists and molecular biologists in universities and private sector research laboratories. With this information, solutions to longstanding constraints in the corn industry (agronomic performance, damage by second generation European corn borer and other stalk borers, corn rootworm, and grain quality at harvest and in storage) will be possible.
- National Soybean Research Laboratory (NSRL)
- The NSRL is taking the lead in applying innovative approaches to meeting rapidly changing research and development needs in the soybean industry. Its primary mission is to facilitate proactive programs that can provide effective responses to emerging market conditions, help insure the health and well-being of consumers, and increase profitability in the soybean industry. The NSRL is centrally positioned in the heart of the major soybean production area of the world. Its location at the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign provides ready access to important assets, such as the Department of Agriculture's national soybean germplasm collection and a major laboratory dedicated to research in plant and animal biotechnology.
- North Central Soybean Cyst Nematode Project
- The North Central Soybean Cyst Nematode Project is a regional effort initiated in 1993 to determine the effects of susceptible and resistant soybean varieties and nonhost crops on populaton densities of soybean cyst nematode (SCN), to assess yield loss due to SCN, and to increase awareness of the nematode and its management among growers in the North Central Region of the US. Cooperating states include Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
- Maize Sequence Analysis Project
- is a joint effort between the University of Minnesota and the Maize cDNA Sequencing Project at the University of Arizona. To date, over 100 sequences from corn (maize) have been processed with these tools.
- Multidimensional Microscopies and Maize Structure
- State University of New York, Buffalo.
- Plantstress.com
- "The purpose of this web site is to serve as a brokerage of information, a meeting place, a consultation facility and a source for professional update on the most important issues of plant environmental stress. While the site is dynamic and constantly updated it also offers basic educational materials to newcomers into this area who wish to use the site for learning. The most important goal of this web site is to promote interaction among those interested in solving the problem of plants under stress in agriculture, be it scientists, extension specialists, business people, administrators, policy makers or farmers."
- Systematic Botany and Mycology Laboratory
- The mission of the Systematic Botany and Mycology Laboratory is to increase the knowledge and application the systematics of fungi and vascular plants essential to solving problems in sustainable and conventional agriculture.
