PVP is a from of Intellectual Property (IP) protection, conceptually similar to patents and copyrights. A breeder can apply for protection, and if the conditions are met (New, Distinct, Uniform, and Stable), they can receive an exclusive monopoly for up to 20 years (25 for trees and grapevines). This system of IP protection is highly harmonized globally under the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). Exclusive IP right s, licensing, and royalties can support investment in plant breeding, public, private, large, small, domestic, and foreign.Determination of seed color patterns in common bean by MYB-bHLH-WD40 complexes and temperatureNational Association of Plant Breeders2023-11-10 | An NAPB webinar by Dr. Travis Parker of UC Davis discussing:
Seed color patterns are critical for differentiating crop market classes.
In common bean, we identified mutations related to five major color pattern genes, all of which were members of MYB-bHLH-WD40 MBW complexes. One gene showed strong parallelism, with 7 independent parallel mutations.
Strong associations between color and temperature existed in white-mottled varieties.
These results demonstrate the importance of MBW complexes and temperature in the establishment of seed color patterning.Breeding Strategy Updates and Ideas from the University of Illinois Wheat Breeding Program.National Association of Plant Breeders2023-10-26 | A webinar featuring Dr. Jessica Rutoski as she shares her expertise on how genomic selection, speed breeding, and other interesting techniques are being used to accelerate breeding cycles and improve the efficiency of the program.

The vision of the symposia series was to create a forum where agency personnel could interact and establish a dialogue with technical plant breeding experts.
The following speakers contribute to this symposium: Leafy Greens - 8:30 - Nicole Juba, Pairwise Peanut Allergenicity - 35:48- Peggy Ozias-Akins, University of Georgia Breeder's Toolbox - 1:29:55 - Allen Van Deynze Multiple Disease Resistance -1:31:26 - Jeff Habben, Corteva Short Corn -1:57:45 - Nathan Springer, Bayer Haploid Inducer - 2:19:27 - Rachel Egger, Syngenta Rice/Potato Apomixis - 2:46:12 - Imtiyaz Khanday, UC Davis Q&A 3:09:30Parentage Reconstruction: A Powerful Breeding Tool to Exploit on the Genomics EraNational Association of Plant Breeders2023-09-29 | The availability of genomic information has been critical for most breeding programs to build genomic prediction models and/or implement GWAS. However, it is also possible to use this genomic information to reconstruct pedigree.
This webinar will explore some of the R procedures to use with the genomic information in different algorithms to check, assess, and reconstruct pedigree and to identify duplicates and sibships.Plant Breeder for the FutureNational Association of Plant Breeders2023-06-07 | ...AlphaSimR - Breeders Equation SimulationNational Association of Plant Breeders2023-05-04 | Hands-on demonstartion of the tools with Q&A from Valerio Hoyos-Villegas and Isabella ChiaravallottiAnalytical Breeding Tools FielDHub, MrBean pt2National Association of Plant Breeders2023-05-04 | ...Analytical Breeding Tools FielDHub, MrBean pt1National Association of Plant Breeders2023-05-04 | ...Genomic Selection: an Industry Perspective; David Habier, Hsiao-Yi HungNational Association of Plant Breeders2023-05-03 | Use of genomic prediction in plant breeding programs Cross-validation of genomic prediction in Corteva How to interpret predictability and its relation to accuracy How to optimize training set composition to increase accuracy in corporate breeding programs Practical considerations of implementing genomic prediction Examples of genomic prediction in clonal propagated crops Technical considerations regarding polyploidy Applications to genomic predictionIgnite Your Spark! - Breeding the Next Generation of Agriculture Leaders with Magan LewisNational Association of Plant Breeders2023-03-15 | This NAPB Graduate Student Working Group Webinar was hosted February 22nd and was led by Dr. Megan Lewis.Borlaug Scholar Panel - Perspectives and Success from Previous ScholarsNational Association of Plant Breeders2023-02-06 | This Interactive Q&A Session was held on February 2nd, 2023 covering the benefits and reasons for applying for a Borlaug Scholarship with NAPB.
