University of Guelph Master’s Scholarship (Project Focus)

The research will explore seed coat color stability and darkening in cranberry and pinto beans using cutting-edge multi-omics approaches, including:

• Genomics

• Epigenomics

• Hyperspectral imaging

Seed coat darkening impacts consumer preference, marketability, and shelf life of dry beans. This project seeks to identify genetic and epigenetic markers that can guide plant breeding for stable, non-darkening bean varieties.
