Help us

- Expand our propagation space into an outdoor area.

- Sustain costs of our indoor grow space.

- Collect and analyze eDNA and morphological data from our LA River phytoremediation site.

- Locate and characterize an appropriate 5-acre demonstration site.

Genomic and genetic insights into Mendel’s pea genes - Nature Characterization of the genetic architecture underlying the 7 pairs of contrasting traits studied by Mendel and the over 70 additional agronomic traits in pea (Pisum sativum) reveals their m...

New genomic & genetic insights into Mendel’s pea genes, including previously uncharacterised alleles

159 years after Mendel published his work, this is a real delight (especially for a geneticist)

"Adoption of heat pumps alters the composition of energy demand: demand for gas drops by 90 percent and demand for electricity rises by 61 percent per year. Overall demand for energy declines by 40 percent. The net effect of these changes is a nearly 70 percent decline in households’ CO2 emissions"
