Development 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
Development and Implementation of a Triticum Technology Platform to Support Public Cereal Breeding Programs in Western Canada. Sub-project B: Enhanced double haploid technology in the prairie small grain cereal breeding locations
Read MoreImprovement in wheat carbon flux for increased yield and harvest index
This project proposed to increase grain yield in wheat by manipulating the cellular Carbon flux for the production of improved varieties with higher productivity More specifically, our objective was to modulate the activity of a key regulatory enzyme, the mitochondrial Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase…Read More
