Expansion of in vitro selection to develop FHB and leaf spot resistant wheat and barley
Plant diseases are responsible for at least 10% of yield losses in global food production Incidence and severity of two important cereal crop diseases, Fusarium head blight (FHB) and tan spot are increasing with the impacts of climate change FHB is responsible for mycotoxin contamination of grains…Read More
Pyramiding stripe, stem and leaf rust genes into bread wheat
Read MoreDevelopment of a pollination control system for Ethiopian mustard: introgression of the restorer gene into adapted germplasm
Ethiopian mustard is an emerging crop well suited to production on the prairies of western Canada In order to maximize yield in this species work was undertaken to develop a pollination control system which would enable the development of hybrids Using a system currently used in canola and Oriental…Read More
Development and Implementation of a Triticum Technology Platform to Support Public Cereal Breeding Programs in Western Canada. Sub-project C: Durable disease resistance in wheat
Wheat cultivars represent optimal combinations of genes to maximize yield, quality and disease resistance In this sub-project we determined the ways in which important leaf rust resistance genes combine to confer disease resistance Some of these genes are effective only against wheat leaf rust,…Read More
