- [00:00:08.980]The Center for Plant Science Innovation
- [00:00:11.140]is a cornerstone of plant biology research at Nebraska.
- [00:00:15.280]Faculty from four university departments
- [00:00:18.150]advance plant science research in the areas
- [00:00:20.950]of metabolic chemistry, stress biology,
- [00:00:23.516]and genetics and epigenetics.
- [00:00:26.380]The research is groundbreaking.
- [00:00:28.344](machine whirs)
- [00:00:29.920]But the ability to turn lab innovation
- [00:00:32.370]into real world tools is what makes the Center unique.
- [00:00:36.380]The Center for Plant Science Innovation
- [00:00:38.100]has a strong foundation in basic research.
- [00:00:40.920]We transform this fundamental research into new products
- [00:00:43.940]and new technologies that have real impact
- [00:00:46.210]on farming operations across Nebraska and around the world.
- [00:00:50.140]The Center also benefits from a wide range
- [00:00:52.300]of expertise of our members.
- [00:00:54.560]Our network of collaborations gives us a crucial edge
- [00:00:57.352]when responding to new research funding opportunities
- [00:01:01.020]and emerging crop production challenges.
- [00:01:03.360]Research leads to hardier and more nutritious
- [00:01:06.030]crops, improvements in bioenergy qualities,
- [00:01:09.150]and bigger yields.
- [00:01:10.830]Our work has great potential to impact the bottom line
- [00:01:13.350]of Nebraska producers, especially when
- [00:01:15.590]commodity markets are low.
- [00:01:17.256]We're developing stress tolerant, nutritious crops
- [00:01:20.270]that have higher yields and we're focused
- [00:01:22.300]on enhancing the quality of crops,
- [00:01:24.270]which helps the producers earn higher margins.
- [00:01:26.950]Scientists enjoy state of the art facilities,
- [00:01:29.920]computational biology supports research
- [00:01:32.350]and guides gene discovery efforts.
- [00:01:34.716]And new gene editing techniques
- [00:01:37.160]expand the possibilities for crop improvement.
- [00:01:40.300]The Center for Plant Science Innovation
- [00:01:42.500]is an agricultural biotechnology pipeline
- [00:01:45.500]that moves research from the lab to the field.
- [00:01:48.424](machine buzzing)
- [00:01:50.170]The Center for Plant Science Innovation,
- [00:01:52.520]transforming agriculture at Nebraska.
