POPulus GENomics to Increase Carbon Sequestration

POPGENICS (PI Rogers)

Growth at elevated carbon dioxide concentration ([CO₂]) stimulates poplar growth. Comparison of poplar gene expression under ambient and elevated [CO₂] will allow us to identify and isolate genes for superior growth and improved carbon sequestration. The POPulus GENomics to Increase Carbon Sequestration (POPGENICS) consortium is collaboration between Michigan Technical University, the University of Southampton and Brookhaven National Laboratory. more...

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
