Griffin Carpenter, a sophomore in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, earned first place in the undergraduate oral scientific paper presentation during the fall meeting of the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America and Soil Science Society of America. Carpenter’s presentation, in San Antonio, was titled “Comparison of Seed Coat Luster in a Recombinant Inbred Line of Shiny and Opaque Black Beans.” Mark Brick, Barry Ogg, and Karen Cichy co-authored the paper. Carpenter is an intern in the Common Bean Coordinated Agricultural Project, known as BeanCAP, and is studying the variation for nutritional quality in dry edible beans.
