Humans rely on plants for most clothing, furniture, food, as well as for many pharmaceuticals and other products. Plant genome sciences are essential to understanding how plants function and how to develop desirable plant characteristics. For example, plant genomic science can contribute to the development of plants that are drought-resistant, those that require less fertilizer, and those that are optimized for conversion to fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. The National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI) is a unique, cross-agency funding enterprise that has been funding and coordinating plant genome research successfully for nine years. Research breakthroughs from NPGI and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Arabidopsis 2010 Project, such as how the plant immune system controls pathogen defense, demonstrate that the plant genome science community is vibrant and capable of driving technological advancement. This book from the National Research Council concludes that these programs should continue so that applied programs on agriculture, bioenergy, and others will always be built on a strong foundation of fundamental plant biology research. 606 $aPlant genomes 606 $aHuman-plant relationships 615 0$aPlant genomes. 615 0$aHuman-plant relationships. 676 $a572.862 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S).$bCommittee on the National Plant Genome Initiative: Achievements and Future Directions. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Agriculture and Natural Resources. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision on Earth and Life Studies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955545503321 996 $aAchievements of the National Plant Genome Initiative and new horizons in plant biology$94365007 997 $aUNINA
