    Project Details

    Description

    This project aims to establish two unique facilities that aid evaluation of genetically modified or gene edited cropplants and grain. The first, a state-of-the-art field site, expects to reduce biotech field trial costs by 10100 timeswith remote sensors, phenotyping platforms, and capacity for environmental manipulation to reduce risk andsimulate a broad range of field conditions. The second aims to provide commercial grain processing to improvenutrition and quality analysis. Expected benefits and outcomes include accelerated translation of fundamentalresearch findings to commercial breeding programs, novel applications for computer vision and machine learningin remote agriculture, and enhanced training opportunities for researchers.
