UC Davis Plant Breeding Academy Class VIII Starting in September

The Seed Biotechnology Center at the University of California, Davis has organized a professional development course to teach the principles of plant breeding to seed industry personnel.

The course, which starts this September, addresses the reduced numbers of plant breeders being trained in academic programs. Participants meet for six sessions over two years to develop and enhance the skills of industry personnel around the world to enable them to become independent plant breeders or to contribute to larger breeder programs.
