The Research Improvement in Minority Institutions (RIMI) program was designed to increase the participation of minorities in scientific and engineering research by providing support to strengthen the research environment and capabilities of predominantly minority institutions. Institutions eligible to participate in this program must have in addition to a substantial enrollment of minority students, graduate programs in science or programs in engineering. Alabama A&M University will use RIMI funds to strengthen research and training in plant cell and tissue culture biotechnology. The research studies will develop a tissue culture program in woody plants, expand a plant cell and tissue culture program in Triticiae (wheat, rye and barley), and establish a molecular genetics program in Triticiae. Tissue culture studies in woody plants will focus on the cultivation of the holly and the analysis of variation in embryo-derived plants. The plant cell and tissue culture program will explore the regeneration of cereal plants from single cells. Initial studies will involve the development of procedures for isolating single cells and screening of genotypes for regeneration potential. In addition, recombinant DNA techniques will be employed to explore interspecies genetic variability in wheat and rye. These studies will be used as a basis for constructing genetic maps. This project will provide support for graduate students, undergraduate students and post-doctoral trainees. The principal investigator is a well-trained and experienced scientist in plant and soil science who publishes regularly in refereed journals. Because of this RIMI project, minority faculty and students will have increased opportunities to participate in meritorious research in plant and soil science at Alabama A&M University.

少数民族机构研究改进（RIMI）计划 旨在增加少数群体参与科学和 工程研究提供支持，以加强研究 主要是少数民族机构的环境和能力。 有资格参加该计划的机构必须在 除了少数民族学生的大量招生，研究生 科学或工程专业的课程。 亚拉巴马A M 大学将利用RIMI基金加强研究和培训， 植物细胞和组织培养生物技术。 有关研究调查可能 将开发木本植物的组织培养计划， 小麦（小麦、黑麦和大麦）细胞和组织培养计划， 并建立小麦族的分子遗传学项目。 组织 木本植物的培养研究将集中在 冬青属植物及胚源植物的变异分析。 的 植物细胞和组织培养计划将探讨再生 单细胞的谷类植物。 初步研究将涉及 开发分离单细胞和筛选 再生潜力的基因型。 此外，重组DNA 技术将被用来探索物种间的遗传 小麦和黑麦的变异性。 这些研究将作为基础， 来构建基因图谱。 该项目将为研究生、本科生和 学生和博士后学员。 首席研究员是一名 训练有素、经验丰富的植物和土壤科学家， 定期在权威期刊上发表文章。 因为这个RIMI 项目，少数民族教师和学生将增加 参与植物和土壤研究的机会 在亚拉巴马农工大学学习科学。
