　　报告人简介：

　　Jianming Yu is Pioneer Distinguished Chair in Maize Breeding and associate professor in the Department of Agronomy, Iowa State University.. The focus of Yu’s program is to combine maize breeding with cutting-edge genomic technologies to address significant questions in quantitative genetics. Dr. Yu's research integrates knowledge in quantitative genetics, plant breeding, genomics, molecular genetics, and statistics, and has the ultimate goal to develop and implement new strategies and methods in trait dissection and crop improvement. He is the lead organizer of a workshop, Genomic Selection and Genome-Wide Association Studies (GS+GWAS), at the annual Plant and Animal Genomes Conference, San Diego, California. His outstanding performance has been rewarded with many awards at the departmental, university, and societal level, including Young Crop Scientist Award from Crop Science Society of America in 2010. Recent research findings from his program appeared in Nature Genetics, Genome Research, and Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences.
