Plant Breeding Program
Much of the plant agriculture in Florida depends
on varieties developed by plant breeders at the University of
Florida. Plant breeding research at the University of Florida has
lead to new breeding methods, new varieties, and new production
systems. Plant breeders are working with molecular biologists to see
where new technologies can be applied in Florida.
Prospective Students & Program Admissions
The University of Florida is a world-wide leader
in providing graduate training in plant breeding, and because many
other land grant universities have reduced or eliminated their plant
breeding programs, it is today more important than ever that we
maintain a strong graduate program in plant breeding.
