Location: Coastal Plain Soil, Water and Plant Conservation Research
Project Number: 6082-21000-008-001-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Oct 1, 2015
End Date: Nov 30, 2019
Objective:
The long-term goal of the proposed project is to increase utilization of naturally-occurring variation from exotic genotypes of one of the most genetically vulnerable major U.S. crops, cotton, to enrich genetic diversity and accelerate breeding progress in the elite gene pool.
Approach:
We will use a multi-disciplinary approach comprising of field evaluation, genomics, and statistics.
