SUMMARY:Wednesday Webinar: Using Molecular Tools in Poplar Hybridization for Bioenergy
DESCRIPTION:Using Molecular Tools in Poplar Hybridization for Bioenergy\nWednesday\, January 14\, 2015 | 10am PST \nTo attend register at http://breeze.wsu.edu/e4vgnzaqh25/event/registration.html \nOn the day of the event\, you can access the webinar at http://breeze.wsu.edu/growinggreen/. \nUsing inter-specific hybridization and selection techniques\, researchers are developing a new class of poplar energy varieties. Integrating molecular breeding tools for poplar trees with conventional approaches can expedite the development of bioenergy feedstocks. Inter-specific hybridization involves crossing two species of the same genus to create a hybrid that can outgrow and outperform the parent species. \nThis webinar will describe the classical approach to poplar breeding currently being pursued by GreenWood Resources and the development of molecular-based improvement tools at the University of California\, Davis. \nClick here for the full abstract \n  \nWhat’s covered?   \n\nConventional and molecular poplar breeding techniques\nMolecular markers and the expression of variation in traits important to biofuel production\nImportance of the translational genomics stage\n\n  \nWhen: Wednesday\, January 14\, 2015 | 10am PST \nWho should attend?\nBioenergy researchers\, bio-industry representatives\, Extension professionals\, academic researchers\, and environmental professionals \nPresenters: Brain Stanton of GreenWood Resources and David Neale of the University of California\, Davis. \nSponsored by:   Washington State University Extension with funding from Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Competitive Grant no. 2011-68005-30407 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). \nHow to access the webinar: Please register for the webinar at http://breeze.wsu.edu/e4vgnzaqh25/event/registration.html \nOn the day of the event\, you can access the webinar at http://breeze.wsu.edu/growinggreen/. \n  \nThis webinar is part of the AHB Hardwood Biofuels Webinar Series. Find the series including archived presentations online at http://hardwoodbiofuels.org/webinars/. \nWant to be notified about future webinars?\nJoin our mailing list at http://hardwoodbiofuels.org/connect-with-ahb/. \nQuestions?
