Bio: 

Brittany Hazard is interested in crop improvement and trait development.  The general objectives of her research project include determining how induced mutations in SBEII genes affect the amylose and resistant starch (RS) content in wheat grain, as well as integrating the high-amylose and high-RS traits into commercial varieties of durum and common wheat.
