Rust diseases are a serious threat to the Canadian wheat crops To increase genetic and other forms of resistance in wheat plants is the most economical way to prevent damage by these fungal pathogens, including less reliance on chemical pesticides Wheat suffers from damage caused by three rusts in…Read More
Genomic strategies to improve field survival of winter cereals and stabilized yield
Winter wheat has the potential to produce 20 – 30% higher yields than spring wheat as the winter crop can more efficiently utilize spring moisture, out-compete weeds and due to early maturation, circumvent the peak of Fusarium Head blight infections However, due to insufficient winter-hardiness…Read More
