57 Breeding Solutions for Improved Crop Quality

Poster Session
C01 Crop Breeding & Genetics
Offered in part as a supporting volunteered session to the symposium offered by C9 on breeding for improved nutritional properties and health benefits, this general session will allow presenters to report on a wide array of breeding solutions that improve crop quality beyond the combine. Papers on feedstock quality might best be offered through a companion session titled, "Developing cultivars which contribute to a bioenergized society".
