Master of Science in Soil and Crop Science, Plant Breeding and Genetics<\/span> Apply Now <\/a><\/h1>\n

Do You Want to Develop the Science, Practices, and Technology to Feed the World While Minimizing the Environmental Impact of Agriculture? <\/strong>
\nThe Master of Science in Soil and Crop Sciences Plant Breeding and Genetics program are expended on the breeding, development, and\/or testing of improved cultivars and genetic materials of wheat, dry beans, barley, oilseed crops, and corn. Special limitations due to high elevations, short growing seasons, and unpredictable rainfall impose unique demands on crop cultivars in the major growing areas of the state. The Department has a comprehensive crop molecular genetics program involving molecular mapping and characterization of agronomically important traits in wheat, beans, and barley.<\/p>\n

In an interdisciplinary fashion, research programs investigate plant breeding methodologies \u2013 commonly involving biotechnologies such as molecular marker mapping, quantitative trait locus analysis, and marker-assisted selection \u2013 cytogenetics, quantitative and population genetics, physiological and statistical genetics, disease and insect resistance, and improving the nutritional value of crops. Genetic engineering of crops offers both potential benefits and risks, and both aspects of this technology are being investigated in the department.<\/p>\n

Before You Apply<\/h2>\n

Because of our strong collaborative ethic, we require you to have an advisor prior to applying to the master\u2019s program. Be sure to fully understand our application requirements before you apply<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
