Summary

1 / 2

Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 3.67 GPA, 88.9% A/AB (n=9 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Describe quantitative genetics principles, including heritability, repeatability, and resemblance between relatives, and the application of these concepts to assess genetic variation and trait inheritance in plant populations.

  • Analyze phenotypic datasets and interpreting results, particularly in relation to variance partitioning and resource allocation in plant breeding.

  • Identify the impact of genotype-by-environment (G × E) interactions and environmental stability on breeding outcomes, and the application of this knowledge to optimize breeding strategies.

  • Analyze and interpret genotype-phenotype association tools to identify the genetic basis of traits and refine breeding approaches across plant populations.

  • Communicate complex biometrical and genetic concepts, through effective scientific writing and presentations, clearly conveying research findings and upholding principles of scientific integrity.
