The Kausch lab contributes advanced and innovative transgenic capabilities and supported two graduate students, (Adam Deresienski, MS\/2011; John Ventura MS\/2012). We sponsor highly recommended undergraduate internship training that takes the form of a 10-hr per week or an intensive 20-hr per week two-semester long course during the senior year. This effort is also in collaboration with CIAT in Cali, Columbia. The URI program trains 6-8 students per year, or an estimated 24-30 students over the lifespan of this grant. In collaboration with Yale and California State University at Fresno, a Minority Serving Institution we have an established Summer Minority Training Program. CSUF, a Hispanic serving institution, has mainly an undergraduate educational mission with a large student base of underrepresented minorities (mainly Hispanic) interested in the biological sciences. We have submitted three patents and one manuscript on this work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genetic Modification to Make Male and Female Sterile Breeding Lines for Hybrid Rice Production<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/?p=68\">Learn more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":581,"featured_media":83,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
