Have you ever wondered about the science that went into making the carrot you’re munching on so crunchy? Or making your chrysanthemum blooms really pop?
The National Association of Plant Breeders, in collaboration with the Plant Breeding Coordinating Committee and PBGWorks, has developed an annual webinar series to showcase the broad range of plant species and plant breeding efforts being implemented. Plant breeding is the process through which new genetic variation is created and subsequently selected upon to develop new varieties of crops. Just as there are many different plants undergoing plant breeding efforts, there are equally as many techniques, methods, and technologies used within each crop. Whether you are a plant breeder, a technician in a breeding program, a graduate student, or someone interested in agriculture and plants, we hope you will find these presentations interesting and informative.
