This award will assist the University of Wisconsin purchase several pieces of shared equipment for a group of nine investigators who are involved in basic plant biology research. The research to be pursued with the equipment includes; (1) molecular evolution, (2) starch metabolism, (3) molecular biology of plant detoxification mechanism, (4) salt transport, (5) purine metabolism in plants, (6) nitrogen fixation, (7) cereal endosperm development, and (8) the molecular mechanisms of protein turnover in plants. Plant materials used by these researchers vary from the model organism, Arabidopsis, to soybean, oats, Brassica and alfalfa. The equipment to be purchased includes plant growth chambers, an oligonucleotide synthesizer, spectrophotometer, and centrifuges. These shared pieces of equipment will greatly facilitate advances of plant biology research at the University of Wisconsin, and will increase already active interactions among plant scientists in several departments.

该奖项将帮助威斯康辛大学为参与基础植物生物学研究的九名研究人员购买几件共享设备。使用该设备进行的研究包括：(1)分子进化，(2)淀粉代谢，(3)植物解毒机制的分子生物学，(4)盐转运，(5)植物嘌呤代谢，(6)固氮，(7)谷物胚乳发育，(8)植物蛋白质转化的分子机制。这些研究人员使用的植物材料多种多样，从模式生物拟南芥到大豆、燕麦、芸苔和苜蓿。要购买的设备包括植物生长室、寡核苷酸合成器、分光光度计和离心机。这些共享的设备将极大地促进威斯康星大学植物生物学研究的进展，并将增加几个部门植物科学家之间已经活跃的互动。
