The Plant Research Laboratory (PRL) is devoted to fundamental research in plant biology and the training of graduate students and postdoctoral scientists. To foster cooperative research that requires long-term, multi-disciplinary approaches, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has been providing financial support to the PRL on a continuing basis. Plant Research Laboratory is affiliated with: College of Natural Science and College of Agriculture & Natural Resources, the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Crop and Soil Sciences, and Plant Biology through joint appointments of its faculty.
