[Plsugs] SEMINAR - Rod Wing

[Quist, Tanya M - (tquist)]

Hello everyone,
Please join us at 4:00 p.m. (Arizona time) on Friday, April 29, at the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, 1951 E. Roger Road for our next seminar:  "USING PLANT GENOMICS TO SOLVE THE 10BPQ:
Feeding the Burgeoning World Population Using Agro Technology".  Guest speaker, Rod A. Wing, PhD, Director of the Arizona Genomics Institute, Bud Antle Endowed Chair Professor, School of Plant Sciences, and Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, is directly focused on one essential, global problem:  Developing superior varieties of food crops for farmers everywhere.  In this lecture, Dr. Wing will discuss the exploitation of natural variation that exists in gene bank repositories around the world to help identify genes and traits that will drive the next green revolution to produce higher yields, while requiring less water, fertilizers, pesticides, and permitting growth on marginal lands.
Parking is plentiful.  Light refreshments will be served.
If you are unable to attend in person, the seminar will be available via the web.
