Symposium--Meeting the Challenge: Genotyping Diverse Germplasm and Providing Tools for Crop Improvement

Oral Session

C01 Crop Breeding & Genetics

This symposium will address progress made in meeting the CSSA Grand Challenge to genotype diverse germplasm in collections, as well as elite breeding material, and to develop systems for storage,visualization and utilization of these data.
