Announcer: The Center for Plant Science Innovation
is a cornerstone of plant biology research at Nebraska.
Faculty from four university departments
advance plant science research in the areas
of metabolic chemistry, stress biology,
and genetics and epigenetics.
The research is groundbreaking.
(machine whirs)
But the ability to turn lab innovation
into real world tools is what makes the Center unique.
-: The Center for Plant Science Innovation
has a strong foundation in basic research.
We transform this fundamental research into new products
and new technologies that have real impact
on farming operations across Nebraska and around the world.
The Center also benefits from a wide range
of expertise of our members.
Our network of collaborations gives us a crucial edge
when responding to new research funding opportunities
and emerging crop production challenges.
Announcer: Research leads to hardier and more nutritious
crops, improvements in bioenergy qualities,
and bigger yields.
-: Our work has great potential to impact the bottom line
of Nebraska producers, especially when
commodity markets are low.
We're developing stress tolerant, nutritious crops
that have higher yields and we're focused
on enhancing the quality of crops,
which helps the producers earn higher margins.
Announcer: Scientists enjoy state of the art facilities,
computational biology supports research
and guides gene discovery efforts.
And new gene editing techniques
expand the possibilities for crop improvement.
The Center for Plant Science Innovation
is an agricultural biotechnology pipeline
that moves research from the lab to the field.
