<v Announcer>The Center for Plant Science Innovation</v>

3
00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:15.280
is a cornerstone of plant biology research at Nebraska.

4
00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:18.150
Faculty from four university departments

5
00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:20.950
advance plant science research in the areas

6
00:00:20.950 --> 00:00:23.516
of metabolic chemistry, stress biology,

7
00:00:23.516 --> 00:00:26.380
and genetics and epigenetics.

8
00:00:26.380 --> 00:00:28.344
The research is groundbreaking.

(machine whirs)

10
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.370
But the ability to turn lab innovation

11
00:00:32.370 --> 00:00:36.380
into real world tools is what makes the Center unique.

<v ->The Center for Plant Science Innovation</v>

13
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:40.920 line:15% 
has a strong foundation in basic research.

14
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.940
We transform this fundamental research into new products

15
00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:46.210
and new technologies that have real impact

16
00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:50.140
on farming operations across Nebraska and around the world.

17
00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:52.300
The Center also benefits from a wide range

18
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:54.560
of expertise of our members.

19
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.352
Our network of collaborations gives us a crucial edge

20
00:00:57.352 --> 00:01:01.020
when responding to new research funding opportunities

21
00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:03.360
and emerging crop production challenges.

22
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:06.030
<v Announcer>Research leads to hardier and more nutritious</v>

23
00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:09.150
crops, improvements in bioenergy qualities,

24
00:01:09.150 --> 00:01:10.830
and bigger yields.

25
00:01:10.830 --> 00:01:13.350
<v ->Our work has great potential to impact the bottom line</v>

26
00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:15.590
of Nebraska producers, especially when

27
00:01:15.590 --> 00:01:17.256
commodity markets are low.

28
00:01:17.256 --> 00:01:20.270
We're developing stress tolerant, nutritious crops

29
00:01:20.270 --> 00:01:22.300
that have higher yields and we're focused

30
00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:24.270
on enhancing the quality of crops,

31
00:01:24.270 --> 00:01:26.950
which helps the producers earn higher margins.

32
00:01:26.950 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Announcer>Scientists enjoy state of the art facilities,</v>

33
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.350
computational biology supports research

34
00:01:32.350 --> 00:01:34.716
and guides gene discovery efforts.

35
00:01:34.716 --> 00:01:37.160
And new gene editing techniques

36
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:40.300
expand the possibilities for crop improvement.

37
00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:42.500
The Center for Plant Science Innovation

38
00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.500
is an agricultural biotechnology pipeline

39
00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:48.424
that moves research from the lab to the field.
