AgUWin Speaker Series: Dr. Greg Vogel, Cornell University
Registration for this event is now closed.
Schedule:
Wednesday, September 25, 2024, 02:00 PM – 03:00 PM
Location:
Toldo Education Building - Room 204
Join us for an engaging seminar as part of the AguWin Speaker Series featuring Dr. Greg Vogel, Assistant Professor at the School of Integrative Plant Science, Plant Breeding and Genetics Section at Cornell University. Dr. Vogel specializes in improving vegetable crops with a focus on disease resistance, quality, and consumer appeal, particularly in the Northeastern United States.
Seminar Abstract: Vegetable growers in the Northeastern United States face unique challenges, such as persistent and emerging diseases, as well as increasingly severe abiotic stressors caused by climate change. Despite these challenges, they also benefit from diverse market opportunities with high demand for locally grown produce. The Cornell tomato and eggplant breeding program aims to address growers’ needs by developing varieties with strong disease resistance and high productivity. This seminar will explore breeding methods and objectives, including recent research projects like salinity stress discovery in a tomato wild relative and testing predictive breeding methods in tomatoes.
This event is open to faculty and students interested in agriculture, plant science, and exploring collaborative opportunities.
