Activity Or MissionTHE BOYCE THOMPSON INSTITUTE FOR PLANT RESEARACH, INC. (BTI) WAS FOUNDED BY WILLIAM BOYCE THOMPSON OUT OF A CONVICTION THAT "ANY PRINCIPLES CONCERNING THE NATURE OF LIFE THAT YOU CAN ESTABLISH FOR PLANTS, WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND MAN, IN HEALTH AND DISEASE." HE ALSO SAW PLANT SCIENCE AS A MEANS OF ENDING HUNGER, THUS ULTIMATELY PROMOTING DEMOCRACY AND POLITICAL STABILITY. BTI SCIENTISTS INCREASE THE UNDERSTANDING OF PLANTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT, CONCENTRATING PARTICULARLY ON PLANT DEVELOPMENT, MOLECULAR PLANT MICROBE INTERACTIONS, AND MOLECULAR AND CHEMICAL ECOLOGY. BTI ENVISIONS A WORLD IN WHICH NUTRITIOUS FOOD IS IN ABUNDANCE, THE ENVIRONMENT IS SECURE, AND PEOPLE LIVE FULLER, HEALTHIER LIVES. THIS VISION CAN BE REALIZED IN PART THROUGH THE STUDY OF PLANT BIOLOGY. AT BTI, WE STRIVE TO BE A WORLD LEADER IN PLANT BIOLOGY.ActivityOrMissionDesc

THE UNITED NATIONS FEBRUARY, 2010 FOOD SECURITY ANALYSIS CITES CLIMATE CHANGE, NATURAL DISASTER, RAPID URBANIZATION, AND UNPRECENDENTED POPULATION GROWTH AS GREAT CHALLENGES TO THE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE OF THE WORLD FOOD SUPPLY. AT BTI, SCIENTISTS ARE INVESTIGATING, AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL, HOW PLANTS GROW, RESPOND TO LIGHT, AND MAKE USE ON A SCALE THAT CAN MEET DEMAND. CURRENT REEARCH IS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THE NUTRITIVE QUALITY OF FOOD, INCREASING YIELD, AND FURTHERING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF AGRONOMICALLY VIABLE PLANT SPECIES. SPECIFIC RESEARCH FOCUSES ON LONGER SHELF-LIFE, NATURAL INSECT CONTROL TO FURTHER REDUCE THE NEED FOR PESTICIDES, ENHANCED DISEASE RESISTANCE IN PLANTS, CROPS THAT PRODUCE HIGHER YIELD WITH LESS LIGHT, REDUCED NEED FOR CHEMICAL FERTILIZATION AND PLANTS WITH HIGHER TOLERANCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS SUCH AS DROUGHT, HEAT AND COLD.Desc
