Rajeev Varshney gave an excellent presentation on chickenpea about how to use the haplotyoe data to help on selection of lines with a combinations of favorable traits and prove them in the field experiments. Rajeev Varshney FRS

Dr. Susan McCouch gave a wonderful presentation about the radical collaboration and transdisciplinary science in the section of “radical collaboration in plant breeding”.

Greatly enjoyed discussion after presenting Calvin Sperling Biodiversity Lecture! Historic wild relative introgression, prioritizing wild relatives for introgression and a new promoter of homoeologous recombination in wheat.

Great meeting Agronomy, Crop, and Soil Science Societies at Baltimore. As a past chair of C-8 Plant Genetic Resources, I organized Frank Meyer Medal award lecture by Dr. Jorge Dubcovsky and Carlvin Sperling Memorial Biodiversity lecture by Dr. Eduard Akhunov. Postdoc and students enjoyed their presenting.

A great gathering for Texas Small Grain meeting on 24, McFadeen wheat symposium on 25 and Hard Red Winter wheat regional meeting on 26. A very inspiring talk by Dr. Ed Souza on McFadden life and career. Dr. Pierson introduced Texas A&M System Texas A&M AgriLife Research wheat cultivars.Student poster

Today, the Texas Wheat Producers board of directors visited the Texas A&M AgriLife - Amarillo research station in Bushland. The board funds several projects carried out at this station and appreciates the work this team does for the #wheat breeding program.

A graph about temperature increase every year from a ASPB speaker on climate change @DrShepherd2013 is very similar as our crop breeders’ yield selection graph. But the temperature change graph makes the breeding selection work more challenged.

This is my first time to join the graduation ceremony during the 13 years I have been working with TAMU Department of Soil and Crop Sciences Texas A&M AgriLife Research i am very excited to see so many Aggie graduates. Congratulations to Dr. Zhen Wang. I am so proud of training 30 graduates with colleagues.
