Thanks Dave Wolyn ***************************************** Dr. David Wolyn, Acting Chair Department of Plant Agriculture Crop Science Building University of Guelph Guelph, ON N1G 2W1 Canada Phone: 519-824-4120 ext. 53386 Fax: 519-821-8660 Email: dwolyn(a)uoguelph.ca Web:http://www.uoguelph.ca/~dwolyn ***************************************** MSC and PHD Positions to Study and Improve Winterhardiness and Health Components in Asparagus One PHD and two MSC positions are available with a preferred starting date of January 2011. 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.
