Deployment of tepary bean genetics to improve stress tolerance in common bean
Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius Gray), a relative of common bean has been reported to be tolerant to abiotic stresses including drought, cold and heat Our preliminary screening of wild tepary accessions for tolerance to sub-zero temperatures demonstrated that the wild tepary bean accession, W6…Read More
A reverse-introgression and genomics strategy to develop and characterize chickpea germplasm for yield and climate-resilience traits
Chickpea is well known to have narrow genetic base, consequently, limits our ability to expand the cultivation of the crop into new environments such as western Canada, and limits our breeding effort to improve stress tolerance as well as other economically important traits Wild species of chickpea…Read More
