Mission
The missions of the Corn Soybean and Wheat Quality Research Unit are to: 1) develop knowledge necessary to improve management of viruses and insect-transmitted pathogens of maize and soybean through discovery and characterization of emerging pathogens, characterization of genetic resistance, and development of diagnostic tools and basic understanding of plant-virus-vector interactions; 2) improve end-use quality and value of eastern soft wheat for the domestic and export markets through contribution to the development of wheat varieties of superior quality, scientific research on end-use quality traits and their genetic connections, and development of efficient and reliable quality test methods.
