Conservation, Management, Enhancement and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources

Principal Investigator: Stan Hokanson

Project Description: Information gained from evaluation of landscape plants for tolerances to environmental stresses aids the gardening public and professionals in the green industry in choice of plants that are adapted to specific growing conditions. This information helps prevent potential loss of plants and reduces maintenance costs. The information also aids breeding programs in choice of parents to use to impart stress tolerance.
