Location: Coastal Plain Soil, Water and Plant Conservation Research
Project Number: 6082-30100-001-004-I
Project Type: Interagency Reimbursable Agreement
Start Date: Jun 1, 2022
End Date: May 31, 2025
Objective:
To develop a genome-informed breeding system for upland cotton. The first objective will determine the haplotype structure across the entire genome of upland cotton. This information will be used to develop genomic prediction algorithms and test them in an upland cotton breeding program.
Approach:
We will use a multi-disciplinary approach comprising of field evaluation, genomics, bioinformatics, and statistics.
