256 Symposium--Crop Breeding Databases

Oral Session
C01 Crop Breeding & Genetics
Crop breeding is increasingly taking advantage of “big data” generated via high-throughput phenotyping and next generation sequencing. Careful data stewardship is essential to maintain the integrity and accessibility of these valuable data sets so they can be effectively utilized to advance plant breeding. This session will examine several databases used in crop improvement to identify best practices and current challenges.

Approved for 3.0 CM CEUs.
