Plant sciences?

[rosebutter]

Hello all,

I’m starting my fall 2020 applications for various plant sciences programs, but I can’t seem to find any recent posts about my field here. I’m interested in the plant genetics/breeding/biotechnology side of plant biology rather than the ecology side. 

Is there anyone else out there?? Where have y’all applied/are you looking to apply? My list is UMN, UW-Madison, MSU, UC Davis, NCSU, UAZ, and UGA although I’m worried my application may not be quite strong enough for their programs.

I did my UG at UGA at the CCRC which had heavy plant bio focus. I'm not really on that side of bio but my first research experiences was in that building. Its a beautiful campus and that CCRC building I have a lot of memories studying and working there. I think Uni of TN might have a program also that collaborates with ORNL in Oak Ridge with plant bio/microbio focus. 

Also Cold Spring Harbor has a plant bio program thats pretty up there????

I’m glad to hear that you had a good experience at UGA. I love that they have an integrated plant sciences program for those who aren’t sure if their interests are more closely aligned to, say, horticulture or  genetics. I will look into CSHL and UTenn!
