About the Texas A&M Plant Breeding Symposium

The Texas A&M Plant Breeding Symposium was founded in the fall of 2014 by four graduate students at Texas A&M University studying Plant Breeding, Molecular and Environmental Plant Sciences, and Horticulture.

This one-day research symposium was designed to be a completely free event to promote education and community within the subject of Plant Breeding. The inaugural event was held on February 19, 2015 with about 350 attendees participating in-person or online via our live webinar broadcast.
