Research Interests
Dr. Haley serves as project leader of the wheat breeding and genetics program. His research focuses on the genetic improvement of hard red and hard white winter wheat for yield, end-use quality, and biotic and abiotic stresses prevalent in Colorado and the central and southern Great Plains. Current research emphasis in the program includes:
- Russian wheat aphid resistance
- Whole-grain near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRs) for wheat quality assessment
- Molecular marker assisted selection
