This award provides renewed support of the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC). The Center collects, preserves, reproduces and distributes diverse seed and DNA stocks of the flowering plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. The ABRC provides access to lists of its stocks and other materials online, and uses a forms-based online ordering system to minimize the difficulty of identifying and ordering seeds and DNA reagents. Since the ABRC was established in 1991, Arabidopsis has become the model species of choice for basic studies of flowering plants. The ABRC serves a dynamic community of plant researchers involved in cutting-edge biology that impacts the fundamental understanding of the basic functioning of plants as well as applied research aimed at crop improvement. The value of the collection has been enhanced by the recent completion of the sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome, and demand for the services of the ABRC is expected to grow as interest in functional genomics increases.On an annual basis, the Center currently distributes approximately 50,000 seed and 20,000 DNA stocks to over 7,000 scientists worldwide. This award will provide 70% of the ABRC's operating budget, with the remainder coming from institutional funds and user fees.

该奖项为拟南芥生物资源中心（ABRC）提供了新的支持。 该中心收集，保存，繁殖和分发开花植物拟南芥的各种种子和DNA库存。 ABRC提供在线库存清单和其他材料，并使用基于表格的在线订购系统，以尽量减少识别和订购种子和DNA试剂的困难。自1991年ABRC成立以来，拟南芥已成为开花植物基础研究的首选模式物种。ABRC为参与尖端生物学的植物研究人员提供动态社区，这些生物学影响了对植物基本功能的基本理解以及旨在作物改良的应用研究。最近完成的拟南芥基因组测序提高了这些收藏品的价值，随着对功能基因组学兴趣的增加，对ABRC服务的需求预计将增加，该中心目前每年向全世界7，000多名科学家分发大约50，000份种子和20，000份DNA库存。 该奖项将提供ABRC运营预算的70%，其余部分来自机构资金和用户费用。
