Meet our students
As in the previous collaborative projects, one of our main goals is to contribute to the formation of the next generation of breeders. Here you can meet the WheatCAP graduate students and learn about their lines of research.
The Plant Breeding Training Network and other tutorials, workshops
The Plant Breeding Training Network (PBTN) is a platform for sharing breeding-related educational materials (videos, webinars, online courses). The PBTN was built on infrastructure funded by NSF and it was created as part of our previous collaborative project, TriticeaeCAP. Now we continue supporting it through WheatCAP.
On the PBTN website you can find most of the educational contents created by our project. Below you will find some direct links to featured contents and to workshops that were not listed in the PBTN.

The 2023 Genomic Selection Workshop (PBTN link)
Wheat CAP Functional Genomics Workshop
(KSU, Manhattan, KS, Aug. 5-9 2024). You can get the presentations slides and code of the workshop here.
UAS workshops (not in PBNT)
There are no digital editions available of the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Manual. Hard copies can be purchased from AgriLife Learn. We have a limited number of physical copies from Texas A&M, if you are part of the WheatCAP, email Justin Faris to request one.

Introduction to the Practical Haplotype Graph (PHG) Workshop (not in PBTN)
On July 9 2019 we had a workshop at Cornell University on building and using Practical Haplotype Graphs (PHG). This is a computational technique to infer the haplotype of progeny lines sequenced at low coverage from the haplotype of a few parents sequenced at high coverage. Below you can download two of the workshop presentations.
