After lunch we had two final presentations. The first one was done by John Salmeron, Group Leader, Applied Genomics.

John gave us an overview of both GM and Non-GM genomics work being done by Syngenta. His research group supports seed product development.

Last but not least on the program was Scott Valentine, Project Leader, Corn and Soy Traits. Scott provided some specifics and focused on drought tolerant corn. When asked about when we should expect to see that corn on the market he said that his bosses ask him that all the time. Sometime, “soon.”
