Agriculture, Landscape & Environment (ALE)
BIO
Jasmine is a PhD Candidate in the ALE department. My dissertation focuses on oomycetes disease resistance in tepary bean, transcriptomic response of tepary bean (host) under fungal disease infection, and participatory plant breeding of culturally meaningful crops. Jasmine is passionate about breeding resilient crops in the face of climate change, diverse germplasm conservation, and more deeply understanding plant-pathogen interactions. Ultimately using molecular breeding techniques to help co-create a community driven participatory breeding program for BIPOC farmers; in collaboration with Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance, Experimental Farm Network, Utopian Seed Project, and Organic Seed Alliance.
Area(s) of expertise
Plant breeding, genomics, transcriptomics, plant pathology, participatory plant breeding.
