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?
