DSSAT Mailing List

A mailing list for DSSAT users and others interested in crop model development, crop model applications and decision support systems has been established at the University of Georgia and is being mirrored at Google Groups. Please feel free to share general questions, concerns, successes, messages and thoughts related to DSSAT and its application to the DSSAT Listserv.  We currently have more than 20,200 unique e-mail addresses on the DSSAT listserver for people who are interested in crop modeling and decision support systems. For specific DSSAT problems and errors, please use “Contact Us” to avoid unnecessary e-mail clutter.

  • AG2PI Field Day: Phenomic Prediction & Bioinformatic Workflows - AG2PI "Coconut" Grant Outcomes
    by Scott, Nicole M [AGRON] on March 7, 2024 at 5:39 pm

    Dear DSSAT members,The next Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) Field Day will be "Phenomic Prediction & Bioinformatic Workflows - AG2PI "Coconut" Grant Outcomes" and will be on Wednesday, March 20 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (CDT, UTC-5). In this field day, we will first hear from Dr. Daniel Runcie regarding how phenomic prediction can be used as a tool for plant breeding. Then, Dr. Fiona McCarthy will review new bioinformatic workflows her team has developed to support genomic analyses. Both of these presentations are outcomes from AG2PI "coconut" (large seed) grants.

  • 4 year Post-doctoral position available
    by Daniel Rodriguez on February 7, 2024 at 8:37 am

    Dear all,thanks for circulating with suitable applicants.https://www.seek.com.au/job/73594673The project aims to overcome the field phenotyping bottleneck for impactful root traits that limits the capacity of breeders and agronomists to achieve step gains in crop productivity, by selecting genotypes and precision agronomic interventions that increase drought tolerance in wheat and sorghum. A key focus is to develop functional high-throughput in-field root phenotyping tools for traits that are valuable, show genetic diversity and agronomic application, and that will contribute to yield and yield stability. The project involves a large multi-disciplinary team of National and International researchers on breeding, crop physiology, [...]
