Scale up and validation of a low-cost paper-based test for mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by mold that can sometimes be found in crops or food Mycotoxins can develop pre-harvest, during harvest, or while in storage, and can be difficult and expensive to detect Maria DeRosa, a Professor at Carleton University, led a research project…Read More
Filling 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
