Institution:
Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada
Total WGRF Funding:
$140,000
Co-Funders:
Alberta Canola Producers Commission, Manitoba Canola Growers Association, Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission
Start Date:
2021
Project Length:
4 Years
Objectives:
Development of PAK93-derived pre-breeding lines which capture sclerotinia resistance, early-season vigor, early flowering, standability and yield potential with seed characteristics typical of canola quality (suitable oil, protein, glucosinolates and erucic acid)
