Plant breeding research combines genetics and plant cultivation to develop improved crop varieties that enhance food security and climate resilience, as demonstrated by UC Davis researchers working on lima beans to increase yield, protein content, and stress adaptability while addressing the challenges of specialty crops with limited commercial demand.

#FromLabsToLives: Jaclyn AdaskavegAdded:
My name is Jaclyn Adaskaveg.
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Plant Sciences Department, and my project focuses on breeding lima beans.
At UC Davis, we are responsible for a lot of the plant science advancing plant science research, especially in California relevant crops.
So a lot of the food, fruits and vegetables and nuts that you eat every day are being improved by people here at UC Davis.
I became a plant scientist because it combined a lot of my interests in genetics and growing plants, and what really sparked it was that I'm able to work with crops that we eat every day.
And we're working to make them better and help people.
