The Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC) was established in 1991 with the mission to collect, preserve, propagate and distribute diverse resources of Arabidopsis thaliana and related species. The Center has been serving the dynamically changing needs of the scientific community that uses Arabidopsis for research, and has grown to serve more than 27,000 investigators worldwide. The collection of almost one million stocks comprises seed, DNA, protein and cell culture stocks, as well as educational materials. With over 200,000 samples distributed annually, ABRC provides an essential service to the plant research community involved in understanding the basic processes in plant models, and ultimately leading to applications to accelerate crop improvement.In the next three years the Center will: 1) continue to enlarge and expand the collections of resources based on projected demand, including antibodies and DNA resources from other species; 2) procure, store and distribute novel types of resources as they are developed and driven by the needs of the community; 3) continue to increase the efficiency of the operation, thus providing higher quality of service without a budget increase; 4) continue developing partnerships with Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (arabidopsis.info) and the Arabidopsis Information Portal (www.araport.org) in order to provide online access to stock information and ordering; and 5) continue to expand the role of ABRC as a resource for education and outreach by developing new K-12 hands-on programs and by increasing the reach of the existing K-12 and college-level teaching activities. The updated procedures for stock handling and maintenance, along with the quality control protocols and statistics, can be found online (abrc.osu.edu). Education materials are also available online (abrcoutreach.osu.edu), including the detailed information about education kits.

拟南芥生物资源中心（ABRC）成立于1991年，其使命是收集，保存，繁殖和分发拟南芥及相关物种的各种资源。该中心一直在为使用拟南芥进行研究的科学界的动态不断变化的需求，并已成长为全球27,000多名研究人员的服务。近一百万个股票的收集包括种子，DNA，蛋白质和细胞培养库存以及教育材料。 ABRC每年分发了200,000多个样品，为参与了解植物模型中的基本过程的植物研究社区提供了必不可少的服务，并最终导致了适用于加速作物改善的应用。在未来三年中，中心将继续扩大和扩大基于预计需求的资源收集，包括预计需求，包括来自其他物种的抗体和DNA资源； 2）在社区需求开发和驱动它们的过程中，采购，存储和分发新颖的资源类型； 3）继续提高操作的效率，从而在没有预算增加的情况下提供更高的服务质量； 4）继续与诺丁汉拟南芥股票中心（拟南芥。 5）继续通过开发新的K-12动手计划，并增加现有的K-12和大学级教学活动的覆盖范围，继续扩大ABRC作为教育和宣传的作用。可以在线找到用于库存处理和维护的更新程序以及质量控制协议和统计数据（abrc.osu.edu）。教育材料也可以在线获得（abrcoutreach.osu.edu），包括有关教育工具包的详细信息。
