"We have a potential to expand in DNA and genomics research. There will be researchers out [at the Seed Technology Laboratory] that will have the equipment and knowledge for that testing," he said.
To make the Seed Technology Laboratory possible, SDSU partnered with several groups representing all the major commodity groups in South Dakota.
Partners for the project include: the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council; South Dakota Crop Improvement Association; South Dakota Foundation Seed Stocks Division; South Dakota Oilseeds Council; South Dakota Soybean Research and Promotion Council; South Dakota Wheat Commission; Hansmeier & Son, Inc., of Bristol; Legend Seeds of DeSmet; Millborn Seeds, Inc., of Brookings; and Moeckly Seed of Britton.
The state of South Dakota also invested money to support the Governor's 2010 Research Center for Drought Tolerance Biotechnology, which the new building will partly house.
Through its partnerships with the South Dakota seed industries and its dedication to agriculture, President David Chicoine said SDSU could make an impact on the state through the research in the Seed Technology Laboratory.
"We can create a more prosperous future - a more prosperous South Dakota, and we can make a difference."
