The Salk Institute\u2019s Harnessing Plants Initiative (HPI) is an innovative, scalable and bold approach to fight climate change by optimizing a plant\u2019s natural ability to capture and store carbon and adapt to diverse climate conditions.<\/p>\n

LA JOLLA\u2014Salk\u2019s Iniciativa de Aprovechamiento de Plantas<\/a>\u00a0(HPI)\u00a0will receive $30 million from the Bezos Earth Fund to advance efforts to increase the ability of crop plants, such as corn and soybeans, to capture and store atmospheric carbon via their roots in the soil. This work will explore carbon-sequestration mechanisms in six of the world’s most prevalent crop species with the goal of increasing the plants\u2019 carbon-storage capacity. It complements an ongoing HPI project focused on identifying genes for increased carbon sequestration in model plants and then utilizing those genes to enhance carbon sequestration in crops.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bezos Earth Fund\u2019s generous donation will help realize an exciting new HPI research program that significantly increases our scientific efforts towards the ultimate goal of utilizing crop plants to mitigate the effects of climate change,\u201d says Salk President and Professor\u00a0Rusty Gage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plants have immense potential to remove excess carbon from Earth\u2019s atmosphere to help respond to our warming planet. The Bezos Earth Fund grant will enable Salk scientists to advance work in plant genetics, genomics, and biochemistry\u2014and use the power of plant diversity\u2014to develop global crops that will increase the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere and store it deep in the earth\u2019s soil.
