Genome to Phenome: Driving the Future of Innovation for Crop and Livestock Communities
2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the NSF supported Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP), the landmark research program that supports genome-scale research that addresses challenges of biological, societal, and economic importance. Building on the importance of PGRP is the 2018 Farm Bill authorized Agricultural Genome To Phenome Initiative (AG2PI), which aims to address an increasing global population and multiple environmental stressors on agricultural production through better understanding of how genotype and environment influence phenotype for the complex traits of crops and livestock that are of economic importance to agriculture.
