** Are you interested in a USDA-NIFA Fellowship?
------------------------------------------------------------

Two of our Plants3D Fellows have obtained USDA-NIFA fellowships. Read more about their stories and sign up for their free workshop below for more information.

We are proud to announce Plants3D Fellow Marcus Harland-Dunaway’s USDA-NIFA Predoctoral Award! Marcus is a graduate student researcher in the Jinkerson lab.

Marcus’ proposal was geared toward reducing the cost of controlled environmental agriculture and understanding the potential of mixotrophic growth for increasing food production.

Plants3D Fellow Alex Borowsky was also recently given a USDA-NIFA Predoctoral Award.

Alex of the Bailey-Serres lab received a $180,000 grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture to study gene regulatory network dynamics of root barrier cell suberin deposition in rice.
