develops genetic resources to help improve resistance to disease and abiotic stress. The research project with which you will participate will focus on the evaluation of diverse germplasm, with special

flood-induced insect resistance in cereals such as maize, rice, sorghum, wheat, oats and rye. The candidate will perform greenhouse-based plant-insect bioassays on cereals involving flooding and

and screening for herbicide resistance in established and newly emerging problematic weed species in the Mississippi Delta region. You will also learn to identify key differences in physiology, growth

genomics and II. Barley and oat molecular biology. For the first project, you will help conduct genetic analysis of resistance to stripe rust and hessian fly in barley and map the key genes or QTLs related

structures, molecular networks, and disease-resistance phenotypes. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and bioinformatics will connect genotypes with phenotypes and identify maize and fungal genes
