Feng Lin
Lin is a soybean breeder at the Fisher Delta Research, Extension, and Education Center (FD-REEC) focusing on soybean cultivar development and germplasm enhancement (maturity group III and IV). His primary goal is to ensure a steady flow of releasing superior conventional and herbicide tolerant soybean varieties adaptive to Southeast Missouri and Mid-South U.S. His research focuses on the improvement of soybean seed quality traits (high yield potential, high protein, high oleic, etc), pest and disease resistance (SCN, RKN, PRR, etc), abiotic stress tolerance (drought, flooding, salinity, etc), and incorporation of genetic diversities. Education background Ph.D., Purdue University…

Thiago Martins
Our laboratory conducts studies on the topics of hormonal control of the estrous cycle and early embryonic losses in beef cattle. Specifically, we investigate progesterone-based strategies to improve efficiency of estrous synchronization programs for beef cows, embryo-maternal communication, and new fertility-promoting molecules. The research studies involve use of steroid assays, ultrasound, molecular techniques, and omics approaches. Our laboratory is also committed to promoting the use of reproductive biotechnologies in cow-calf operations.
