Education:
Ph.D., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; M.S.,
Northwest Agricultural University, China; B.S., Northwest
Agricultural University, China
Mission:
To develop an accelerated and internationally recognized
wheat breeding and genetics program with emphasis on the
development of winter and spring wheat cultivars with high
agronomic adaptability to irrigated and rainfed agriculture
in the state of Idaho, with good disease and pest
resistance, and with desirable end-use quality to meet the
needs of the wheat industry, both foreign and domestic.
Research projects:
·
Accelerated breeding for
Idaho and Pacific NW wheat commodity using a combination of
traditional wheat by maize hybridization, and
marker-assisted breeding methods
·
Phenotyping and assciation mapping of water and nitrogen use
efficiency in wheat and barley genotypes from the National
Small Grains Collection
M Mapping and
marker-assisted breeding for predominant diseases (Stripe
rust, stem rust, dwarf bunt, fusarium head blight, and
dryland foot rot), pest (Hessian fly) resistance, and
end-use quality
· Teaching:
Graduate seminar (Plsc501)
Advising:
Graduate major professor and graduate committee member
