Edward Buckler
Adjunct Professor, School of Integrative Plant Science, Plant Breeding and Genetics Section
Edward S. Buckler is a plant geneticist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service and holds an adjunct appointment at Cornell University. His work focuses on both quantitative and statistical genetics in maize as well as other crops such as cassava.
The Buckler Lab for Maize Genetics and Diversity uses functional genomic approaches to dissect complex traits in maize, biofuel grasses, and grapes. The lab uses the natural diversity of these plant genomes to identify the individual nucleotides responsible for complex (quantitative) variation.
