Better Crops With a Pointillist Approach to Plant Genomics

And eventually, their findings could help us grow better crops, with less impact on our planet.Links from this episode:Find all episode transcripts on our websiteMonet’s Waterloo Bridge at Sunset (1904)Serat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884)Submit a proposal to work with the JGI: https://jointgeno.me/proposals Margot’s 2021 Berkeley Lab SLAM talk Genome Insider is a production of the Joint Genome Institute. This episode uses two pieces of music from Free Music Archive: Sad French Accordion by Dana Boulé (CC BY-NC 4.0)Sonata No. 20 in G Major, Op. 49 No. 2 - I.
