Eric Olson (left) leads the wheat breeding program and Melissa Winchester (partially seen right) is a graduate student in the program. The wheat breeding and genetics team at MSU, which utilizes the greenhouse, develops high yielding and disease resistant wheat varieties grown by farmers in Michigan and across the Great Lakes region. Throughout the year, they develop breeding populations and carry out disease screening. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
