Welcome to The Robert H. Smith Institute of Plant Sciences and Genetics in Agriculture

Plants have been instrumental for the development and establishment of Life on Earth. They provide our food and are the source of almost all energy used by mankind. Most alternative energy resources of the future are also likely to be plant-based.
