Welcome to the Plant Center

Plants are the key to a healthy planet and the cornerstone upon which all agriculture depends. Cutting-edge research in plant molecular biology, genetics and genomics is considered vital to safe-guard the environment while sustainably meeting the food, feed, fiber and fuel needs of an ever-increasing population. The UGA Plant Center promotes interaction among plant geneticists and plant molecular biologists, helps support agriculture in Georgia and beyond, and fosters a productive learning environment for students and scientists.
