Colorado State University, Oklahoma State University, and University of Nebraska researchers, paired with input from a committee of expert breeders, growers, physiologists, and agronomists from some of the top companies in agriculture are offering a short course in plant breeding for drought tolerance June 14-June 25, 2010 in Fort Collins, CO. The course will consist of a combination of classroom lectures, hands-on lab exercises, and field research in a drought breeding program at experimental field sites in Eastern Colorado and Western Nebraska. Prior to the short course, students will complete an online series of instructional modules to provide a common background in breeding and physiology concepts. Students will first review and discuss these concepts and later become skilled at them in hands-on lab and field exercises.  The course is designed for professionals in the public and private sectors as well as for graduate students in plant breeding and genetics programs.  Please visit the Plant Breeding for Drought Tolerance website at http://www.droughtadaptation.org for further program details and registration information.
