I started a Ph.D in Plant Breeding and Genetics at North Carolina State Univ. in Raleigh, in the fall of 2008. I will be working on scab aka fusarium head blight on wheat. I will be deriving molecular markers and linkage maps for qtls associated with disease resistance ( essentially finding genes which protect the plant and tagging the genes so they can be identified/followed in pedigress). I am a member of one of the few schools which doesn't have an "S" at the end of their mascot, the wolfpack.
