Bench work

Kristin's bench and field work was in plant breeding and genetics at Michigan State University, in the dry bean breeding program. Her published work there covers common bean performance under drought stress, marker-assisted selection for drought resistance, a greenhouse screening protocol for Fusarium root rot, and QTL analysis of resistance to root rot. Her dissertation was on breeding for resistance to Fusarium root rot in bean.
