Welcome to the D.C. Kiplinger Floriculture Crop Improvement Program in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science at the Ohio Agriculture Research and Development Center/ The Ohio State University.  This program is led by Dr. Michelle Jones.

The mission of the Floriculture Crop Improvement Program and the D.C. Kiplinger Chair in Floriculture is to advance the science and practice of floriculture.  Research and outreach programs focus on improving ornamental plants for both producers and consumers using molecular and physiological approaches.  These programs are supported in part by the OSU D.C. Kiplinger Floriculture Endowment.
