Genetic Methods for Mitigating Invasiveness of Woody Ornamental Plants: Research Needs and Opportunities

Because cultivation of exotic woody ornamental plants has led to establishment of a number of invasive species, there is considerable interest in breeding methods to reduce the propensity for spread. We review progress in conventional breeding and transgenic biotechnology approaches to producing sterile forms of ornamental woody plants. Conventional forms of inducing sterility, including induct...

Spatial Computing∗: Accomplishments, Opportunities, and Research Needs

We present a perspective on the societal accomplishments, recent cultural shifts, challenges, and opportunities in spatial computing based on the discussions at the 2012 Computing Community Consortium (CCC) visioning workshop, “From GPS and Virtual Globes to Spatial Computing – 2020,” held at the National Academies’ Keck Center to assess interdisciplinary developments and research challenges in...

Research in Reproduction: Challenges, Needs, and Opportunities

After delivering a student lecture on the quantitative attributes of human infertility, the very poor quality of human sperm in comparison to other species, and the biologically unlikely long “time-topregnancy” statistics even among young people, I generally pose to my audience of several hundred young and healthy students the following question. “All of these characteristics would be enough to...
