  2. National Program 302 Agenda • Approve Components • Review Problem Areas • Identify Associate Editors • Identify Writing Team Leaders • Writing Team Charge & Timelines • Breakout Session Assignments • Reports from Breakout Sessions

  3. ARS National Program 302 Vision: Scientific research leading to tomorrow’s advances in crop production, quality and safety • Components: • Functional Utilization of Plant Genomes • Processes that Improve Plant Productivity and Quality • Plant Biotechnology Risk Assessment

  4. Possible Problem Areas for Component 1 Crop Models Metabolic engineering Genomic understanding of complex traits Expression profiling Proteomics Characterize plant diversity Genomic tools Bioinformatics Transformation Sites specific recombination & excision technlogy Genomic resources (direct, non-direct GE) Artificial chromosomes Computational biology High throughput biochemistry/physiology Metabolic profiling Functional annotation of genomic sequences Tilling New sources of resistance

  5. Possible Problem Areas for Component 2 Adaptation to biotic & abiotic stresses Genomic approach to reduce trans-isomers Glycemic index Nutraceuticals Hypoallergenic crops Metabolomics Metabolic efficiency Sustanable agriculture Crop nutrition Water use efficiency Nutritional quality Assess natural variation in metabolic pathways Interaction with beneficial microorganisms Value-added traits Understanding C & N metabolism controls Secondary products Metabolic flux Link to Climate change

  6. Possible Problem Areas for Component 3 Alternatives to GE crops Analytical tests for constituents/GE traits New methods for gene confinement Influence of transgenes on global plant function Transformation efficiency Precise DNA insertion Pollen flow control
