Plant Research
CREW scientists in the Plant Research Division have been working to propagate and preserve endangered plants from across the United States
Cumberland sandwort (Arenaria cumberlandensis)
Cumberland sandwort plants have been propagated using tissue culture, and these methods have been used to produce plants that have been outplanted in the Daniel Boone National Forest. This experimental population has demonstrated that Cumberland sandwort plants produced through tissue culture can be used to produce a viable population in the wild. Tissues have also been banked in CREW’s Frozen Garden.
