Lead Researcher (PI): Aaron Beattie
Institution:
University of Saskatchewan
Total WGRF Funding:
$38,841
Co-Funders:
None
Start Date:
2011
Project Length:
1 Year
Objectives:
To develop high throughput SNP-based molecular markers linked to known low protein genes, to use the developed markers in a marker-assisted selection program to screen CDC barley breeding germplasm, and to confirm if selected lines contain lower protein levels.
