Read MoreFighting rust fungal crop threats through integrated genomics research
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
Filling gaps in wheat cultivar development with translational research
Translation of upstream genetic technology into breeding applications is essential to the continued improvement of wheat cultivars adapted to western Canadian conditions Advancing breeding methods will help improve cultivars to diseases such as Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) while maintaining grain…Read More
