Genetics of leaf and stem rust resistance in recently released western Canadian spring wheat
Read MorePyramiding stripe, stem and leaf rust genes into bread wheat
Read MoreDevelopment 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 of an automated fungal detection system using MEMS-based spore sensor
Fungi cause more than $100 billion in crop damage worldwide annually Fungal infections are spread by the distribution of fungal spores via water flow, wind currents, and insects Detecting and monitoring spores will facilitate disease management strategies to reduce economic loss In this project the…Read More
