"Through groundbreaking, transdiciplinary discovery and outreach, the North Carolina State University Plants for Human Health Institute at the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis, will pioneer a dramatic shift in the way the American public views and uses plant food crops--not merely as a source of nutrients and flavorful calories, but as a powerful resource for componenets that protect and enhance human health. Integrated research in metabolomics, biochemistry, pharmacogenomics, breeding and postharvest attributes will lead to development of mainstream fruit and vegetable produce with enhanced health benefits, and introduction of new or underappreciated crops and products."
