The PHD project will examine physiological parameters in genetic materials that vary for senescence, dormancy and survivorship in Southern Ontario to establish selection criteria for breeding winterhardiness in asparagus. In a related project, an MSC student will assess physiological parameters in breeding parents and their hybrids to determine the genetic potential to improve this trait. A second, distinct MSC project will survey breeding parents and hybrids for antioxidants and other health-related compounds to assess genetic variation and the potential to improve asparagus as a healthy food. The University of Guelph has one of the largest concentrations of plants scientists in Canada with research spanning basic and applied/agricultural objectives. Opportunities exist to integrate these objectives in degree programs and interact with commodity organizations to understand the food value-chain. In the Department of Plant Agriculture, graduate degrees are offered in three areas of specialization to meet student needs: Plant Genetics and Breeding, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry and Crop Production Systems.
