GENOMICS:
Plant Biology in 2010

Chris Somerville* and Jeff Dangl

The completion of the Arabidopsis sequence will be followed by a new ten-year project that will determine the function of all angiosperm genes. Funding for the U.S. component of this multinational project will originate from a new initiative from the U.S. National Science Foundation called the 2010 Project. Progress toward completion of this ambitious project will necessitate significant changes in how the plant biology community selects and approaches research objectives. The plan envisions that the project will facilitate the development of a computational model of a virtual plant that will allow predictive queries about basic mechanisms underlying plant growth and development.

The authors are in the Department of Plant Biology, Carnegie Institution, Stanford, CA 94305, USA, and in the Biology Department, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA, respectively.
