Wheat Roguing
M.S. student and research assistant Amanda Holder (no hat), Ph.D. student Andrea Acuna (blue shirt, light hat) and research associate Mirta Dalzotto (red shirt) are "roguing" wheat breeding plots. The process is simply to remove off-types, plants whose physiology varies from the rest of the population, in order to keep breeding lines pure. The wheat breeding program is led by Dr. Esten Mason.
