DOE Funds Pilot Study Focused on Biosecurity for Bioenergy Crops

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science has selected Brookhaven National Laboratory to lead a new research effort focused on potential threats to crops grown for bioenergy production. Understanding how such bioenergy crops could be harmed by known or new pests or pathogens could help speed the development of rapid responses to mitigate damage and longer-term strategies for preventing such harm.

DOE’s Office of Science to Support 133 Outstanding University and Community College Students
