International Weed Genomics Consortium brings together 15 partners from 7 countries to develop whole-genome approach to weeds.
Apr 16, 2021
The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) is awarding $1.5 million to establish the International Weed Genomics Consortium (IWGC), an ambitious project aimed at improved management of the most intractable species of weeds. The $3 million consortium is supported by $1.5 million in matching funds from industry sponsors.
Large-scale weed control is usually accomplished by spraying expensive herbicides, but weeds can adapt and evolve resistance to such treatments. The IWGC, led by weed scientists at Colorado State University and comprising 15 academic partners across seven countries, is assembling a global community of experts from science and industry to develop genomic tools that fundamentally advance humanity's approach to weeds and crops.
