187 Symposium--Footprints of Genetic Progress: Looking Forward Using Genomics, Biotechnology, and Bioinformatics to Enhance Gains

Oral Session
C07 Genomics, Molecular Genetics & Biotechnology
New technologies will have to be exploited to sustain and increase genetic gains in the future. Several crop species were recently sequenced. These data, and new insights based on bioinformatics, SNP markers, and new biotechnologies will help translate genotypic information into phenotypic improvements.
Cosponsor(s):

C01 Crop Breeding & Genetics, C08 Plant Genetic Resources
