The North Carolina State University Fruit and Vegetable Science Institute is one element of an integrated effort across the North Carolina Research Campus to adapt emerging technologies for plant improvement and human health benefits. The role of the Fruit and Vegetable Science Institute, which will be staffed by the N.C. State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, is to develop a new generation of fruits and vegetables with superior nutritional and horticultural characteristics. Researchers will use the most advanced scientific tools to provide new insights into cellular processes, then translate these breakthroughs through genomics and plant breeding into plants with desired traits. The work of the Institute offers an exciting opportunity to complement and expand the North Carolina State University mission to benefit the social and economic well being of the people of North Carolina, the nation and the world. We invite you to learn more about the Institute on these pages.
