A talented group of three graduate students and two Postdoctoral Fellows served as representatives of the Wheat Genetics Resource Center (WGRC) and Kansas State University at the McFadden Symposium, which took place on March 3-4, 2025 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The researchers shared their latest findings and innovations in wheat genetics research.
Each researcher presented compelling research through detailed scientific posters, showcasing the breadth and depth of ongoing work at the WGRC. Their presentations covered diverse aspects of wheat genetics and breeding, as detailed in the following poster titles:
