USDA CSREES National Research Initiative 2005 Rosaceae Funded Projects

The 2005 USDA CREES NRI Plant Genome Program focussed on research projects that will advance our knowledge of the genome of Rosaceous plants, such as pome fruits, stone fruits, strawberry, brambles and related ornamentals. Download the Rosaceae progress reports presented at the 2008 NRI workshop at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference. Please go to the individual project page to find individual project reports.
