Crop Improvement through Biotechnologies
Crop Improvement through Biotechnologies (CITB)
Roundtable
Food and fiber are mainstays
of economic prosperity. The rapidly advancing fields of plant molecular biology
and biotechnology are playing ever-increasing roles in crop improvement. Texas
A&M and Peking University have leading researchers in the areas of genomics
and biotechnology of rice and cotton and many interactions among Chinese and
U.S. scientists and laboratories already exist. Collaborative projects are
conducted with complementary research expertise and biological resources.
Expansion of these activities through roundtable discussions and subsequent
funding opportunities would be very beneficial to both Chinese and U.S.
scientists. The following issues will be addressed in the proposed
roundtable:
