Online course offered by the Dept. of Agronomy & Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln - Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
Online graduate-level course offered for noncredit professional development. Course focuses on the importance of creating the necessary genetic variation resources for conventional and modern plant breeding programs.
This module will provide a deeper insight in seed priming, an important physiological enhancement method and its relation to seed germination and seed dormancy breakage. Theory and practicum will combine basic as well as some advanced technologies in seed priming.
The course will focus on plant breeding strategies and practices directed toward improving plant performance in moisture-stressed environments. Targeted to graduate students in the plant sciences, as well as to professionals in the public and private sectors.

During this webinar, Dr. Heather Merk, The Ohio State University, will introduce R software for statistical analysis and demonstrate how R has been used to analyze tomato phenotypic data collected for the SolCAP project.
Will address the goals of the series and why growers should engage in social media. Presenters will define the objectives and review “return on investment” of engaging in social media and how it fits within the context of agriculture.
The conference will discuss topics such as Food Safety Culture, the value of third party audits, chemical hazards with stockfeed and organic vegetables, allegens, food safety in a natural disaster, hormones and beef, food safety in fishing vessels and due diligence.
This webinar will discuss the common tests ordered on fall soybean production and also show photographs of symptoms/signs including seed coat mechanical damage, field and storage fungi and seedling abnormalities/vigor.
