Management Network Welcomes New University Partners
The University of Arizona and Michigan
State University join the growing network of
PMN Land-Grant Partner Universities. Both
Universities now have complete access to all PMN resources for all
faculty, students, and staff – both on and off campus. Look for
resource pages from these Universities to be included in the
PMN Plant Science Database in the near future.
 University
of Arizona
The mission of the
University of Arizona College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
is to develop, integrate, extend, and apply knowledge. Plant
related information is developed through several Campus
Departments and the Agricultural Centers located throughout the
state. The resulting information is integrated in ways useful to
a variety of users and made available through the Cooperative
Extension Offices in each county and by the Internet.
