The Crop Science Podcast Show - Dr. Bob Stupar: Soybean Genomics and Gene Editing | Ep. 126

In this episode of The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Bob Stupar from the University of Minnesota explores soybean genomics, gene editing, and genomic selection in modern breeding. He explains how markers improve selection efficiency, why SCN resistance requires a multi-gene approach, and what the five-year strategic plan means for the soybean genomics community. Listen now on all major platforms!

What you'll learn:  

• Genetics, genomics, and biotechnology
• Genomic selection in breeding
• SCN resistance mechanisms
• Five-year strategic plan
• Gene editing applications

Meet the guest:

Dr. Bob Stupar is a Professor in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on molecular genetics and genomics of legume crop species, including soybean and pea, with primary interests in the genetic basis of natural and induced phenotypic variation, developing novel genetic resources, and using genomic strategies for trait improvement.
