The participant will be involved in molecular genetics, physiology, and breeding that will encompass turfgrass responses to light, flowering requirements/cues, and sod forming abilities along with leading general turfgrass management and seed production research.Position Responsibilities:60% Research â“ Design, execute, and analyze data for experiments evaluating vernalization requirements in different turfgrass species such as perennial ryegrass and hard fescue. Investigate the molecular regulation of vegetative-reproductive phase transitions, vernalization, and other floral development pathways in cool-season turfgrasses, with emphasis on the role of light quality on flowering. Design, execute, and analyze data for experiments aimed at discovering gene
