The Frontiers in Breeding for Drought Symposium is open to the public and will include lectures from invited speakers covering the topics of Applied Breeding, Biotechnology, Genetics, and Physiology. The purpose of the Symposium is to provide a forum for exchange between plant physiologists, agronomists, and geneticists in order to continue the positive trend towards crop improvement through plant breeding and genetics. We hope also to build collaborations between the public and private sectors, as well as with graduate students in plant breeding, genetics, and physiology programs.
