Genomic strategies to improve field survival of winter cereals and stabilized yield
Winter wheat has the potential to produce 20 – 30% higher yields than spring wheat as the winter crop can more efficiently utilize spring moisture, out-compete weeds and due to early maturation, circumvent the peak of Fusarium Head blight infections However, due to insufficient winter-hardiness…Read More
Development of fully cleistogamous wheat and associated markers
Read MoreFilling 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
