GNPS - Exploring Genetics by Environment - 'omic analysis of engineered biomass crops in the lab and field

Clonal QSuB switchgrass plants (3 independent transformation events), and their corresponding wild type (var Alamo), grown in a growth chamber and the field, were harvested at two time points (five replicates) during the growing season across two years (2018, 2019), to compare the effects of environment on genetically identical engineered plants. To complement this, we used QsuB plus wild type for Arabidopsis grown in a walk in growth chamber. Three replicates of tissue will be harvested at a single time point. Plants will be well-watered or drought stressed.
