Just a bunch of plant breeders trying to save the world.
关于我们
The National Association for Plant Breeding (NAPB) is a science-based non-profit organization welcoming all, especially plant breeders and students who share our vision and mission. Our mission is to strengthen plant breeding research to promote food security, quality of life and a sustainable future. Membership supports research collaboration and funding through unified advocacy for plant breeding. Your participation will give the entire plant breeding community an influential shared voice at regional and national levels. Become a member today by enrolling now at https://www.plantbreeding.org/membership/join-renew . Our rich and varied membership base is highly active, with over 300 people attending our annual meetings. As an organization representing the diversity of plant breeders, membership is drawn from across industry, academia, government and research organizations. This creates a unique opportunity for partnership and collaboration, and for our many graduate student members is also provides remarkable opportunities for networking and leadership development

Join NAPB, National Association for Plant Breeding and the Education Committee as Dr. Patricio Munoz showcases his blueberry breeding program at the University of Florida on Thursday, February 27th at 11 am PST || 2 pm EST. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gktPAhkD. ? Dr. Patricio Munoz is an Associate Professor of Horticultural Sciences at the University of Florida. Dr. Munoz focuses on the development of high yielding, high quality, and better disease/pest resistance southern high bush blueberry cultivars. In his program he explore the genetic variability of commercially important blueberry traits using traditional breeding tools and quantitative genetics, with the aim of?increasing genetic gain?in selection traits, and optimizing the generation of new cultivars. With interests in discovering, developing, and applying molecular marker information to advance plant breeding through?Marker Assisted Selection?(MAS) and?Genome-Wide Selection?(GWS).

Hello Colleagues, Please see this announcement: Professor and Chair - Department of Agronomy Job Description: The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, seeks a Professor and Chair for the Department of Agronomy. Nominations and applications are sought for a visionary leader with demonstrated capacity to lead the department in its missions of teaching, research, extension, outreach, and service in developing and applying science to advance sustainable crop production and to protect soil and water resources. The department and college are consistently among the most highly ranked programs nationally and internationally and have a culture of excellence and accomplishment. The Agronomy Department’s portfolio includes an undergraduate degree in Agronomy that offers a flexible curriculum with high-impact practices, including a learning community, experiential learning, undergraduate teaching fellowships, undergraduate research opportunities, study-abroad courses, and career preparation. The department offers MS and PhD programs in Agricultural Meteorology, Crop Production and Physiology, Plant Breeding, and Soil Science, as well as offering online MS degrees in both Agronomy and Plant Breeding. The department’s programs emphasize a systems focus that integrates agronomic productivity and environmental sustainability, expanding and synthesizing disciplinary knowledge for optimal impact on production systems as well as on soil and water quality. Research, teaching and extension activities utilize high-capacity greenhouses, growth chambers, analytical instrumentation, and extensive facilities at research stations near Ames and around the state of Iowa. In research and extension activities, the department’s faculty, staff, and students actively engage with farmers, the agribusiness community, and other stakeholders. Research is funded by grants from governmental (federal and state) agencies, agricultural industry, commodity groups, and nonprofits. In external funding, the Agronomy Department ranks highly among all other departments at ISU. Much research is also conducted in collaboration with allied organizations at the federal and state level as well as private and nonprofit groups. In addition, the Chair oversees a substantial endowment that supports all departmental missions. Proposed Start Date: July 1, 2025 Application Instructions: To apply for this position, please click “Apply” and complete the Employment Application. The guaranteed consideration date for the review of applications is November 25, 2024. For questions about the position, please contact the search committee chair, Dr. Amy Kaleita ([email protected]; 515-294-5167).

Was very interesting to listen to Kathryn Grant from AbacusBio on selection indexes, sustainability and plant breeding at our recent NAPB, National Association for Plant Breeding annual meeting in St. Louis, MO. Listen to the SeedWorld interview... #Plantbreeding #Sustainability #AbacusBio #NAPB https://lnkd.in/gPdDEY-U

Look forward to our meeting in May 2025 in Hawaii!
Senior VP and Head of Vegetables Research & Development, Crop Science Division, Bayer | President, NAPB | Multicultural Leader | Driving Sustainable Agriculture
Eight Sunday's back in St. Louis, MO we kicked off our 2024 annual NAPB, National Association for Plant Breeding meeting focus on 'Rethink, Reimagine and Revolutionize' the space of #PlantBreeding. A nice reflection from Seed World United States on our meeting and the exciting topics we covered. Look forward to our Annual Meeting in Hawaii in May 2025! https://lnkd.in/gWB-3SB6 Neha Kothari Katy Martin Rainey Thomas Lubberstedt

It was fun making the meals and taking the photo! Cowpea is a crop of great importance in my country, Nigeria ????. I had to show everyone some of the ways we consume this protein-rich crop. Thanks NAPB Graduate Students and NAPB, National Association for Plant Breeding!
Recently, we organized a photo contest and after a rigorous selection process, we are happy to announce that we have three winners ?? Habib Akinmade, Ph.D student at the University of Florida shared a photo about the “Culinary and Genetic Diversity in Cowpea” This photo celebrates the rich diversity in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) breeding, showing various seed colors and types, each paired with a traditional dish it can create. The photo displays the importance of diversity for food security and agricultural resilience by highlighting the genetic variation within cowpea germplasm. Stephanie Botton, a Masters student at the University of Georgia shared a photo about: “Research brings the world together”. Global collaborations are necessary for researchers, especially breeders, to alleviate current and future agricultural obstacles. Where some of these collaborations occur in zoom and conference rooms, others occur in more informal places like a peanut field during harvest. In this photo, a trial aimed at studying peanut reproductive traits (flowering-time and position, and pod maturity) were hand harvested by UGA graduate students, technicians, and a visiting scholar. The diverse atmosphere of this research is an excellent way to share other life perspectives, diverse cultures, and can often provide many moments of laughter and enjoyment. Maliheh Shaltouki, PhD student at Purdue University shared a photo that captures an array of sorghum seeds, each distinct in color and texture, nestled in rustic wooden scoops. The diversity in seed appearance highlights the richness of genetic variation achieved through plant breeding. The orderly arrangement of scoops, paired with the scattered seeds, symbolizes both the precision and natural beauty of agricultural diversity. Please join us to celebrate our winners ?? #napb #diversity #plantbreeding
