Session: Symposium--Novel and Ancient Crops: Small in Acreage, Large in Value (ASA, CSSA and SSSA International Annual Meetings (2016))

227 Symposium--Novel and Ancient Crops: Small in Acreage, Large in Value

Oral Session

C09 Biomedical, Health-Beneficial and Nutritionally Enhanced Plants

This symposia is aimed to provide a voice to crop breeders, physiologists and geneticists working on crops with limited acreage. Many of these crops have unique stress tolerance and/or nutritional potential which has been incompletely exploited, in part due to the strong focus on a small number of major crop plants (maize, soybean, rice, wheat) in the 20th century.

Approved for 2.0 PD CEUs
