The Department conducts many extension/outreach activities, providing reliable advice about the crop varieties that perform best in New York/Northeast through comparative trials, publications, field days, training programs, seed conferences, etc. Faculty members also interact with industry and growers' groups, national programs in developing countries, international centers, etc. Susan McCouch, the first CALS Professor of International Agriculture to work on molecular genetics for crop improvement, conducts global outreach in this area. The Center for Genomic Diversity, headed by Steve Kresovich, provides training in modern genetic assessment techniques for a broad national/international audience. Department facilities are currently divided between laboratories/offices in Bradfield or Emerson Halls and greenhouse/fieldhouse operations in the Guterman area, with 300 acres of plots on experimental farms at various locations. The Kresovich lab is located in the Biotechnology Building. Labs of Tanksley, McCouch and Smith are part of the new Plant Genomics Facility in Emerson Hall. Several special programs are associated with the Department. The New York Seed Improvement Project produces and distributes certified seed and serves as the official seed certifying agency of the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets. The USDA Center for Agricultural Bioinformatics organizes molecular and agricultural information about rice, small grains, Solanaceae, and crucifer crops for global electronic access. Headquarters of the Cornell-Eastern Europe-Mexico (CEEM) Project on Potato Late Blight Control are in Plant Breeding. The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) also has close links with the Department.
