The Plant Breeding Training Network (PBTN) is currently funded in part by a USDA/National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant. It is a collaboration among the Plant and Soil Sciences eLibrary, university and college educators/students, minority serving institutions and wheat and barley researchers. Partners from over 21 states, USDA and 55 universities are members of the PBTN.
PBTN launched the summer of 2001. As it grows and develops, we anticipate breeding and genetics collaborators from other plant species will be added.
Please take a look around and we hope you find the materials, webinars, classes and interactions with colleagues in this environment to be rewarding. Together we can meet the food needs of a growing population, in the midst of climate challenges.
We hope you become a frequent visitor of this site to share with us the experiences of this exciting project.
