"This gift will enable us to create a plant biotechnology facility unparalleled in the public sector," said UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Dean Kate VandenBosch. "We can now leverage the diverse strengths of UW-Madison's plant science community, allowing us to more deeply explore plant gene function and to collaborate with partners around the world to improve crop traits." The WCIC will be used by University researchers in the plant sciences, including agronomy, biochemistry and botany, among others. The facility will focus on the development and improvement of commercially-important plant stocks and methodologies, including corn, sorghum, soybean, oats, barley and wheat. "The University of Wisconsin has a long and distinguished history as a hub of innovative plant science research and advancing agriculture," said Tom Adams, vice president and biotechnology lead for Monsanto. "We at Monsanto are extremely pleased that our donation will contribute to this mission and further accelerate scientific advancements, ultimately resulting in more solutions for farmers across the world."
