The Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC) has been serving the plant research community since 1991 by collecting, preserving, amplifying and distributing seed and DNA resources of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) and related species. These include diverse DNA libraries, full-length cDNA collections, insertion mutant seed populations, seed collections representing global natural variation, as well as genome editing resources. The ABRC's long-term goals are: 1) to continue to enlarge and expand the collection though acquisition of new resources, 2) to store, amplify and distribute new types of resources based on the needs of the community, 3) to increase the efficiency of the operation, to provide higher quality service with a continued low stock price, 4) to provide free access to curated stock information, and 5) to continue to generate, collect and distribute teaching and education outreach kits, to facilitate an integrated plant biology education both locally and nationally.This award will facilitate the transfer of ownership of two large legacy seed collections, generated through previous NSF funded research. The Center will curate, amplify and distribute novel seed stock collections that have been donated by two retiring or re-orienting Arabidopsis researchers, Dr. David Meinke and Dr. Robert Last. The information from these legacy collections (about 20,000 records) will be integrated within the existing ABRC database infrastructure, in addition to securing, curating and amplifying the physical collections for approximately 6,500 stocks. These collections are larger and more complex to curate and maintain than the stocks normally accepted and this project will support their timely inclusion into the larger ABRC collection. The addition of the Last and Meinke legacy collections also presents an opportunity for the ABRC to highlight these acquisitions through the creation of new education resources and unique, hands-on experiences for K-16 students, educators and the general public. This will include the development of two new Greening the Classroom education modules that include stocks from the legacy collections, and a public hands-on laboratory experience involving "citizen scientists" who will assist in the identification of defective seed from the Last collection.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

拟南芥生物资源中心（ABRC）自1991年成立以来，一直致力于收集、保存、扩增和分发拟南芥及其近缘种的种子和DNA资源，为植物研究界服务。这些包括多样化的DNA文库、全长cDNA收集、插入突变种子群体、代表全球自然变异的种子收集，以及基因组编辑资源。ABRC的长期目标是：1)通过获取新资源，继续扩大馆藏；2)根据社会需要，储存、扩大和发行新型资源；3)提高运营效率，以持续的低价提供更高质量的服务；4)免费提供精选库存信息；5)继续制作、收集和发行教学和教育宣传资料包。促进本地及全国的植物生物学综合教育。该奖项将促进两个大型遗留种子收藏的所有权转移，这些种子收藏是通过以前NSF资助的研究产生的。该中心将整理、扩增和分发由两位退休或重新定位的拟南芥研究人员David Meinke博士和Robert Last博士捐赠的新种子库存。除了保护、管理和扩大大约6 500种库存的实物馆藏外，这些遗留馆藏（约2万份记录）的信息将被整合到现有的ABRC数据库基础设施内。这些藏品比通常接受的藏品更大，管理和维护起来也更复杂，该项目将支持它们及时纳入更大的ABRC藏品。Last和Meinke的遗产收藏的增加也为ABRC提供了一个机会，通过为K-16学生，教育工作者和公众创造新的教育资源和独特的实践经验来突出这些收购。这将包括开发两个新的“绿化教室”教育模块，其中包括传统馆藏的库存，以及一个由“公民科学家”参与的公众动手实验室体验，他们将协助识别“最后一批”中有缺陷的种子。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
