November 2022

Larry Smart is Professor of Plant Breeding and Genetics in the Horticulture Section of the School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University and is based at Cornell AgriTech in Geneva. He is a plant geneticist and breeder who uses genomic tools to understand the biology of key traits and to breed improved cultivars of hemp for grain, fiber, and cannabinoids; shrub willow for bioenergy and carbon sequestration; and hop for craft breweries in New York. His research focuses on hybrid vigor, sex determination, and disease resistance. He earned a BS in Biology from Cornell University, PhD in Genetics from Michigan State University, and was an NSF post-doctoral fellow at UC Davis.
