    \n
  1. Demonstrate that a focus on plant performance characters will reveal knockout phenotypes<\/li>\n
  2. Quantify phenotypes and phenotypic plasticity to environmental variation (e.g., sufficient vs. deficient nutrients, growth chambers vs. greenhouse)\u00a0<\/em>emphasizing ecological realism of treatments<\/li>\n
  3. Test hypotheses that knockout effects are related to gene family size<\/li>\n
  4. Test the hypothesis that the effect of knockouts depends on the gene ontology of the locus<\/li>\n
  5. Study how undergraduates’ involvement in this distributed research network influences their access to social capital within the scientific community<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    To achieve these goals, faculty, and the undergraduate students:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Have developed a set of shared phenotyping protocols emphasizing performance-related traits<\/li>\n
    2. Are phenotyping\u00a0thousands of\u00a0T-DNA lines in\u00a0at least one standardized growth environment (check out the database<\/a> for currently available data)<\/li>\n
    3. Are collecting\u00a0phenotype data from a large subset of lines across multiple environments<\/li>\n
    4. Quantifying the number of T-DNA insertions in each line to screen out multiple inserts<\/li>\n
    5. Enhancing cyberinfastructure to support communication, collaboration, and cross-institutional data sharing and analysis among undergraduates and faculty<\/li>\n
    6. Conducting and analyzing a series of in-depth interviews from undergraduate interns participating in the network to explore how they exploit the network as they advance in their training<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
