Start Date: 2024

Project Length: 4 Years

Objectives:

Develop genomic selection models of doubled haploid populations of CWRS and CWAD wheat classes for genomic selection. Explore the utilization of genomic selection with double haploid technology to accelerate genetic gains (yield, protein, gluten strength) in CWRS wheat and in CWAD wheat (yield, protein, FHB, DON).
