Markerassisted breeding provides an opportunity for wheat breeders to select for important genes well before breeding lines advance to expensive yield and disease nursery testing In the past five years, new molecular marker assays have become available that allow for more rapid screening of…Read More
Development 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

Fusarium head blight (FHB or scab) caused by Fusarium spp is a destructive disease of wheat Host resistance coupled with other integrated pest management practices, is considered the best approach to control FHB In an effort to identify novel sources of FHB resistance, we evaluated wheat germplasm…Read More
