The Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC) has been serving the plant research community since 1991 by collecting, preserving, amplifying and distributing seed and DNA resources of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) and related species. These include diverse DNA libraries, full-length cDNA collections, insertion mutant seed populations, seed collections representing global natural variation, as well as genome editing resources. The ABRC's long-term goals are: 1) to continue to enlarge and expand the collection though acquisition of new resources, 2) to store, amplify and distribute new types of resources based on the needs of the community, 3) to increase the efficiency of the operation, to provide higher quality service with a continued low stock price, 4) to provide free access to curated stock information, and 5) to continue to generate, collect and distribute teaching and education outreach kits, to facilitate an integrated plant biology education both locally and nationally.This award will facilitate the transfer of ownership of two large legacy seed collections, generated through previous NSF funded research. The Center will curate, amplify and distribute novel seed stock collections that have been donated by two retiring or re-orienting Arabidopsis researchers, Dr. David Meinke and Dr. Robert Last. The information from these legacy collections (about 20,000 records) will be integrated within the existing ABRC database infrastructure, in addition to securing, curating and amplifying the physical collections for approximately 6,500 stocks. These collections are larger and more complex to curate and maintain than the stocks normally accepted and this project will support their timely inclusion into the larger ABRC collection. The addition of the Last and Meinke legacy collections also presents an opportunity for the ABRC to highlight these acquisitions through the creation of new education resources and unique, hands-on experiences for K-16 students, educators and the general public. This will include the development of two new Greening the Classroom education modules that include stocks from the legacy collections, and a public hands-on laboratory experience involving "citizen scientists" who will assist in the identification of defective seed from the Last collection.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

拟南芥生物资源中心 (ABRC) 自 1991 年以来一直致力于收集、保存、扩增和分发拟南芥 (Arabidopsis) 及相关物种的种子和 DNA 资源，为植物研究界提供服务。其中包括不同的 DNA 文库、全长 cDNA 集合、插入突变种子群体、代表全球自然变异的种子集合以及基因组编辑资源。 ABRC 的长期目标是：1）通过获取新资源继续扩大和扩大馆藏，2）根据社区的需求存储、放大和分配新型资源，3）提高效率运营，以持续的低股价提供更高质量的服务，4）免费提供精选的库存信息，5）继续生成、收集和分发教学和教育外展工具包，以促进综合植物生物学本地教育和该奖项将促进两个大型遗留种子收藏的所有权转让，这些种子收藏是通过以前的国家科学基金会资助的研究产生的。该中心将策划、扩大和分发由两位退休或重新定位的拟南芥研究人员 David Meinke 博士和 Robert Last 博士捐赠的新颖种子库。这些遗留馆藏（约 20,000 条记录）中的信息将被集成到现有的 ABRC 数据库基础设施中，此外还会保护、管理和扩大约 6,500 只股票的实物馆藏。与通常接受的库存相比，这些藏品规模更大，管理和维护也更复杂，该项目将支持它们及时纳入更大的 ABRC 藏品。 Last 和 Meinke 遗产收藏的增加也为 ABRC 提供了一个机会，通过为 K-16 学生、教育工作者和公众创造新的教育资源和独特的实践经验来突出这些收购。这将包括开发两个新的“绿化课堂”教育模块，其中包括来自遗留收藏的库存，以及涉及“公民科学家”的公共实践实验室经验，他们将协助识别最后收藏中的有缺陷的种子。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
