Trees for Life (
www.treesforlife.org) provided funding to MO to bring the plants studied to Mexico, to prepare the shadehouse,
prepare the land, plant, and maintain the common garden. Trees for Life is a humanitarian
NGO that uses moringa as a crucial low cost nutritional resource in poor dry tropical
communities worldwide. They provided the authors with the mandate to learn about moringa
protein to guide selection of the optimal variants for addressing protein malnutrition.
The Programa de Apoyo a Proyectos de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica (
http://dgapa.unam.mx/html/papiit/papit.html) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México grant IT200515 has provided funds
to MO for fieldwork and collection maintenance. The Lewis and Dorothy Cullman Foundation
(
http://www.lewiscullman.com/) have provided funding to JWF for his research on glucosinolates and other compounds
across the mustard oil plants. These funds helped make BCA measurements of protein
possible. PSC at City University of New York (
http://www.psc-cuny.org/) provided some funds for reagents to RPS. Funding was also provided by the Agricultural
Research Service (58-6250-0-008). Except for that mentioned for Trees for Life, the
funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish,
or preparation of the manuscript.
