- The Turfgrass Breeding Program led by Dr. Phillip Vines focuses on developing improved seed-propagated turfgrass cultivars for lawns, sports fields, and golf courses. The program integrates traditional breeding approaches with genomics and high-throughput phenotyping to enhance disease resistance, stress tolerance, and overall turf quality, while advancing the efficiency and precision of cultivar development.
