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

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
Influence of genotype, weather and the growing environment, and crop management on gluten strength and the sustainability of CWRS as a premium wheat class in the prairie region
Performance Story: Influence of Genotype, Weather and the Growing Environment, and Crop Management on Gluten Strength of CWRS Wheat Gluten strength is a critical asset of CWRS wheat and is the foundation for the longstanding success of the CWRS wheat brand Today's CWRS wheat as a class, has…Read More
New insights into natural air grain drying
This research project started over a decade ago in 2007 At the time there was no formative practice as to how an aeration fan should be controlled; but, there was a vague notion that there must be a better, more effective, more efficient method to control the fans rather than just running them…Read More
