CULTIVAR DEVELOPMENT: ACCELERATED INTROGRESSION OF SYNTHETIC HEXAPLOID DERIVED DIVERSITY INTO AN APPLIED HARD WINTER WHEAT BREEDING PROGRAM

Objective

The goal of this project is to train scientists with a holistic understanding of agricultural microbiomes that goes beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplines. The proposed Leadership Excellence Across Practice and Science (LEAPS) program was designed to provide interdisciplinary training in soil and plant health through microbiomes for four graduate students (two PhD and two MSc), while developing their leadership skills.
