Graduate students in Plant Breeding/Molecular Genetics conduct research ranging from applied plant breeding projects emphasizing breeding procedures and methodologies to molecular genetic projects doing biotechnology, genetic engineering, and genomic research in agronomic and horticultural crops. These research projects give students the opportunity to integrate the latest developments in the laboratory with applications in the field to reach the overarching goal of developing new germplasm that will improve the sustainability of our food and fiber systems.
