What we study
The Singh Lab studies tropical fruit crops, using conventional and modern breeding tools, genomics, and bioinformatics to improve traits like flavor, stress resistance, and production efficiency. Their work also develops tools to speed up genetic improvements and shares research with growers through workshops and outreach.
