Scale up and validation of a low-cost paper-based test for mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by mold that can sometimes be found in crops or food Mycotoxins can develop pre-harvest, during harvest, or while in storage, and can be difficult and expensive to detect Maria DeRosa, a Professor at Carleton University, led a research project…Read More
Influence of genotype, weather and the growing environment, and crop management on gluten strength and the sustainability of CWRS as a premium wheat class in the prairie region
Performance Story: Influence of Genotype, Weather and the Growing Environment, and Crop Management on Gluten Strength of CWRS Wheat Gluten strength is a critical asset of CWRS wheat and is the foundation for the longstanding success of the CWRS wheat brand Today's CWRS wheat as a class, has…Read More

Read MoreThe integration of spring wheat genetics and agronomics to mitigate risks associated with early plantings into cold soils
Previous studies have indicated that crosses between spring and winter wheat cultivars can result in spring growth habit cultivars with cold tolerance similar to winter wheats (Larsen 2012) Agronomic studies focusing on seeding date tend to indicate a yield advantage to early seeding of spring…Read More
