Blaine Johnson, agronomy and horticulture professor of practice, will be leading a workshop Aug. 1-3 titled Analysis, Summarization and Interpretation of Plant Breeding Data using Mixed Models with Echidna Software. This three-day event will take place in the Goodding Learning Center, 280 Plant Sciences Hall on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s East Campus.
The workshop is on the analysis and summarization of plant breeding data using mixed models and Echidna/ASReml software. Emphasis is on analyses executed using phenotypic data to generate reports of relative genetic values of genetic entities evaluated in plant breeding experiments, and on subsequent interpretation of those results.
Workshop leaders include Johnson, Keith Boldman, research scientist at Corteva, and Lorena Dumbá, intern for hybrid breeding and teaching in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture.
Registration is limited to 25 participants.
