The Plant Breeding and Genomics Community of Practice on eXtension aims to put genomics research into practice through plant breeding. It presents peer-reviewed content to share the latest information on techniques and tools with plant breeders. Content includes trait reviews, software tutorials, case studies, videos, and webinars. The community also collaborates on a workspace called PBG Works to facilitate group contributions. The goal is to foster collaboration and showcase how genomics can be applied to crop improvement. Evaluation surveys assess the impact on knowledge and practices.
