A total of 105 accessions were selected for pasmo resistance from the screening of more than 3,400 accessions available at the Plant Genetic Resource Canada (PGRC) collections Crosses were made between the best pasmo resistant accessions and an advanced CDC breeding line Recombinant inbred…Read More
Development and Implementation of a Triticum Technology Platform to Support Public Cereal Breeding Programs in Western Canada. Sub-project A: Development of genomic tools to enhance cereal breeding in Canada
Markerassisted breeding provides an opportunity for wheat breeders to select for important genes well before breeding lines advance to expensive yield and disease nursery testing In the past five years, new molecular marker assays have become available that allow for more rapid screening of…Read More
