The grasses – especially big bluestem, little bluestem, Indian grass and switchgrass - are still common today. Tall grass prairies are a unique and complex ecosystem that protects the enviro…
For millennia, plants have been a source of traditional medicines. It is estimated by the World Health Organization that approximately 75-80% of the world’s population uses plant medicines. Plants are used to produce drugs that play an important role in cancer treatment, pain control, inflammation …
In this lecture, Ivan Baxter PhD showcases the cutting-edge science that is ramping up the pace of scientific discovery generating increased biological understanding in a wide range of organisms at a one-of-a kind Plant Phenotyping Facility at the Danforth Plant Science Center. This facility is bei…
For over a decade, new technologies like RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) silencing have been used to discover and investigate plant traits to improve crops. RNA silencing is a powerful tool within the plant scientist’s toolkit to understand how plants resist pests and diseases, produce valuable products and…
The first program of a two-part series to discuss efforts to improve agriculture practices and water use from a global and local perspective is the subject of this episode of Conversations. Dr. Roberto Lenton, Executive Director of the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute at the University …
The Danforth Center Lecture Series proudly presents a comprehensive study on what the root causes of hunger and poverty are in the world today, along with how we can achieve Global Food Security.
The Danforth Center presents a new lecture on the importance of Bioinformatics: the melding of molecular biology with computer science through information transmission, accumulation and processing.
