Plant scientists at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology were recently awarded a four-year National Science Foundation Enabling Discovery through GEnomics grant to advance their understanding of sphagnum moss, a crucial component of peatlands and a vital player in global ecosystems. The collaborative research team will develop genetic and genomic resources to study sphagnum's life cycle, growth and adaptation to various environmental conditions.
