Among the research mentioned in the report were
- the use of bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 as a model system for studying virulence-related genes
- using tomato and cauliflower as models for improving crops' nutritional qualities
- using genomics to identify natural variation in agronomically important traits in maize
- using genomic and molecular genetic techniques to improve crop-plant cultivation on marginal, and even highly acidic, soils
- using genomics to find genes that regulate plant virus transmission by insect vectors
