We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Edward Buckler, a distinguished plant geneticist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service and Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences adjunct professor, has been awarded the prestigious Barbara McClintock Prize for Plant Genetics and Genome Studies by the Maize Genetics Corporation! This honor recognizes Dr. Buckler’s fundamental contributions to our understanding of the genetic basis of phenotypic variation, which has significantly influenced crop breeding programs worldwide. His research extends its impact beyond plant biology, reaching into the realms of animal breeding and human genetics. Join us in congratulating Dr. Buckler for this well-deserved recognition of his dedication and innovation in the field of genetics! https://loom.ly/e2W7Css

Revolutionary Research for a Growing World
关于我们
ARS enjoys deep-historic roots as the principal in-house research agency of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Federally-supported agricultural research dates back to the 1862 Organic Act, which established what is now the USDA. The Organic Act charged the then-Commissioner of Agriculture “To acquire and preserve… all information he can obtain by means of books and correspondences, and by practical and scientific experiments…” ARS was founded in 1963 with the vision of leading America towards a better future by fulfilling this charge through agricultural research and information. ARS employs 2000 scientists and post-docs at over 90 locations across the country. Collectively, our scientists are engaged in almost 700 cutting-edge research projects at any given moment. Projects range from how to reduce nitrate runoff on Midwest farms, to best practices for Honey Bee management. The information, technology, and improved techniques originating in the ARS scientific community have profound and wide-ranging impacts on all consumers domestic and abroad.

On October 29, the USDA National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) will hold a side event during the World Food Prize Foundation's Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue. The 2024 Borlaug Dialogue's theme is "Seeds of Opportunity: Bridging Generations and Cultivating Diplomacy." The Side Event, USDA National Plant Germplasm System: Ensuring Food Security for Future Generations, will share how NPGS underpins national and international agricultural advances. It includes a panel featuring an NPGS scientist, industry representative, university administrator, and plant breeder who will share their diverse perspectives. In addition, the side event includes graduate student flash presentations and a poster session/networking opportunity that will engage with ongoing research that makes use of NPGS materials. Help us spread the word!

Maybe you read about the September 25, 2024, Delta Airlines flight that flew from Minneapolis, MN, to New York City in celebration of Climate Week? The flight was the first to soar through the skies on a jet fuel blend partly derived from the oil of a 2,000-acre winter camelina crop grown in Minnesota and North Dakota. Congrats to ARS’ “Soils Lab” in Morris, MN for helping make it happen. Its 20 years of multi-faceted research turned a lesser known, underutilized plant into a versatile oilseed crop for midwestern farmers—and now, a potential resource for sustainable jet fuels that may help diminish air travel's carbon "footprint." https://loom.ly/NG7uIx8
