To make winter wheat more attractive to the Canadian wheat value chain, plant breeding efforts to improve end-use quality were undertaken to increase demand, prices and ultimately, acreage Over the past 20 years, major progress in yield, agronomics and disease resistance has been achieved in…
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…
The first objective of this project was to Identify and characterize possible dwarfing (Rht) genes in canary seed Short-statured lines were identified and evaluated over a four year period The lines were sensitive to the plant hormone Gibberellic acid and thus height was not likely controlled by…
