From Genomes to Phenomes: Ensuring Sustainability Amid Rapid Environmental Change
November 6 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Join us as we apply a genetics lens to crop and animal production with a focus on sustainability. At this event, the focus will be on understanding how plant and animal genetics are expressed in, or modified for, different production systems.
Meet academic-industry teams that are bridging the gap between genetics and consumer-friendly traits that impact sustainability in our production systems.
