Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is requesting Department of Energy (DOE) funding to enable collaborative research at CSHL, Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), and the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook to develop biofuel alternatives from aquatic plants. The primary objective of the project would involve research into genetic engineering applications on duckweed which would maximize oil production and biomass formation through genome sequencing and genetic, biochemical, and physiological studies.
