Breeding Crops for Resilience to a Changing Climate

The rapid advance of genetic technologies has provided new tools to generate crops that are resilient to climate change, resistant to infection and that can better sequester carbon. Professor Pamela Ronald will discuss the development of climate-resilient rice varieties, the genetic basis for plant resistance and CRISPR-mediated strategies to enhance carbon sequestration of rice.

Refreshments served at 4:30 pm.

Speaker: 
Pamela Ronald, Ph.D., Professor
Department of Plant Pathology and the Genome Center at UCLA, Davis
