About us

We address questions regarding genetic improvement of complex traits in crop plants.

We are interested in answering questions such as

  • How can plant breeding programs optimize use of genetic variation while minimizing the influence of environmental variation?

  • What are the roles of non-additive gene action in the expression of quantitative traits?

  • How can breeders obtain more accurate estimates of breeding values or genomic estimated breeding values?
