185 Symposium--Green Revolution 2 through Application of Second Generation Sequencing to Plant Breeding and Improving Quantitative Traits

This will include research currently being done with SNPs in rice, maize, soybeans, and legumes including association mapping, ways SNPs are being used in wheat and a few presentations related to moving beyond QTLs and looking at quantitative traits. The goal is to present the "cutting edge" of utilizing DNA markers.
