Memories of Eric and Flynn said...: Thank you for visiting us. We came to repay the compliment. Wow! Your greenhouses are rather bigger than ours.If ever you need anybody to hatch out any lilies for you, we're the cats for the job.; April 12, 2009 at 5:19 PM
Anna Maria said...: Wow! Cecilia, your greenhouses look amazingly modern!
Good Luck!

About the Lab

Our research program focuses on developing molecular tools for watermelon and integrating these tools into our breeding program. Thus we strive to bridge the gap between basic genomic research and applied cultivar development.

Our current research projects endeavor to identify loci and genes associated with important fruit, seed, flower and disease resistance traits in watermelon.

Participants in our research group gain experience in field, greenhouse and laboratory research as well as genomic analysis and bioinformatics. The majority of research is carried out by graduate and undergraduate students, as well as high school students through the Young Scholars Internship Program.
