What if we understood plants and how they adapt to their ever-changing environments better? We could unlock new innovations to drive more productive food, medicine, and bioenergy crops. But most available genomes are from narrow swaths of the plant tree of life. One project aims to change that. <ul><li><a href='https://jgi.doe.gov/user-science/genome-insider'>Find all episode transcripts on our website</a></li><li><a href='https://jgi.doe.gov/work-with-us/proposals'>Submit a proposal to work with the JGI!</a></li></ul>
