Biologists share $1.83 million to explore why plant genomes duplicate

(Colorado State University) Joel Sharbrough, a postdoctoral fellow at Colorado State University, is sharing a $1.83 million grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems to answer fundamental questions about how genome doubling influences the biology of a set of key crop plants. The grant was jointly awarded to Jonathan Wendel's lab at Iowa State University.
