Note: Before the grant funds were released during summer 2006, Quynh Ho, Biological Science Lab Technician supported by USDA-ARS was responsible for the field data collection and harvest of the 400 O. sativa accessions with assistance from Rebecca Herman, USDA-ARS supported Biological Science Technician, and a high school summer intern, T. Grant Brock supported by this NSF project. Both Quynh and Rebecca continue to assist with the project, as needed.
