Marnin Wolfe is an Assistant Professor in Quantitative Genetics within the Department of Crop, Soil & Environmental Sciences at Auburn University's College of Agriculture. His research focuses on genomic approaches to crop improvement, particularly in cassava and temperate crop systems. Key areas include plant breeding methodologies, genotype-environment interactions, and the development of digital tools like Breedbase and Cassavabase to enhance breeding efficiency.
Dr. Wolfe's work emphasizes quantitative genetics, leveraging genomic selection and association mapping to improve yield, nutritional content, and climate resilience in crops. His research bridges classical breeding practices with modern genomic technologies, targeting traits such as root yield in cassava, carotenoid content, and intercropping compatibility in temperate systems.
Recent publications highlight advancements in cassava improvement through genomic prediction models, analysis of genotype-by-environment interactions, and the implementation of bioinformatics platforms for breeding management. His work contributes to both foundational genetics research and applied agricultural solutions for sustainable food systems.
Lab and team collaborations focus on multi-species genomic selection strategies and the development of neo-domestication frameworks for underutilized crops. While specific grant details and student advisees are not detailed in available texts, his research aligns with global initiatives in tropical agriculture and climate-smart crop development.
