Great news on the Botany Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to thank you again for your support and let you all know that my project has won the Botany Challenge! This has raised my support by $500 and we are now 55% funded. :)

There are still 17 days left to reach the total and this campaign is an all or nothing project so if you would be able to pass my project along to any friends that may be interested in helping a project on an important medicinal plant I would really appreciate it. 

Thank you all again!!

About This Project

I'm studying an important medicinal plant in the citrus family, commonly known as Jaborandi(Pilocarpus). Compounds from the leaves of this plant are used medicinally for glaucoma as well as to induce sweating, salivation, and urination. Sequencing the full genome across multiple populations will be a very important resource and will advance progress toward a better understanding of the biosynthesis of compounds in this genus as well as the population structure, aiding in conservation.

Blast off!
