The Seed Biotechnology Center at the University of California, Davis has a mission to “mobilize the research, educational and outreach resources of UC Davis in partnership with the seed and biotechnology industries to facilitate discovery and commercialization of new seed technologies for agricultural and consumer benefit.” Guided by this mission statement, the Seed Biotechnology Center developed The Plant Breeding Academy and created educational content for SeedQuest. Some of this content is aggregated by topics in the same order it is presented on SeedQuest. Click on a topic for summaries of the relevant subtopics and links to SeedQuest.
