With your assistance, we have established a $40 million plant genome initiative within the National Science Foundation [NSF] that will be focused on economically significant crops. To facilitate the development of a comprehensive plant genome initiative, the President's Science Advisor, Dr. Gibbons, established an Inter-Agency Working Group on Plant Genomes.
