573 Symposium--Non-Traditional Uses for Plant Genetic Resources

Oral Session
C08 Plant Genetic Resources
Plant genetic resources are utilized for research other than traditional plant breeding and cultivar development. Speakers will discuss research results in non-traditional uses for plant genetic resources ranging from archeology to DNA barcoding to animal health.
