Vegetable Breeding Working Group

VGBR is part of the American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS)

Symposia, Colloquia, and Workshops

The vegetable breeding working group of ASHS sponsors the plant breeding symposium (in cooperation with the Crop Science Society of America), as well as colloquia and workshops each year. Symposia are held every two years, and alternate between ASHS and CSSA meetings. Below is a list of those events sponsored over the years.
