Symposium--Harvesting Domesticated and Wild Genomes for Genes for Crop Improvement.

Oral Session

C07 Genomics, Molecular Genetics & Biotechnology

With next generation sequencing becoming more accessible, genomes of many cultivars, land races and wild species can be used more efficiently as sources of new variation and genes.

Cosponsor(s):

C01 Crop Breeding & Genetics, C08 Plant Genetic Resources
