Research
My research is focused on weed suppression in wheat against Italian Ryegrass in the NC-Neuse x AGS 2000 mapping population. I want to identify suppressive lines and new QTL’s within this population for weed suppression. Then use the new QTL’s to screen future wheat lines and help address the ryegrass problems that both organic and conventional wheat growers are facing today.
