Research at the Highlander Lab

My project is working on applying genomic selection into Uruguay’s rice breeding programme focusing on more genetic gain.

Goals:

  • Evaluate genomic prediction in Uruguay’s rice germplasm and
  • Explore novel methods for genomic prediction to harness genetic diversity from the two rice pools, Indica and Japonica.
