We're proud of our awesome graduate students and want to recognize their excellence!
The Institute for Plant Breeding, Genetics and Genomics has a vibrant graduate program that offers both a Master's degree and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Plant Breeding, Genetics and Genomics.
Congratulations to John Bagwell, one of the five graduate and fifteen undergraduate students selected across the country to participate in the USDA' s 2024 Future Leaders in Agriculture Program.
John has just returned from the Agricultural Outlook Forum in DC. Photo shows John together with Dr. Wendy Wintersteen, Iowa State University President.
The University of Georgia is home to a world-renowned, cutting-edge plant breeding program – the Institute of Plant Breeding, Genetics and Genomics (IPBGG).
Plant breeding is the science of selecting a plant’s desirable genetic traits to develop new varieties of field crops, vegetables, fruits and ornamentals. When combined with the latest advancements in genetics and genomics, this critical science is significantly advancing the field of plant production.
