Lead Researcher (PI): Pierre Hucl
Institution: University of Saskatchewan
Total WGRF Funding: $132,000
Co-Funders: None
Start Date: 2013
Project Length: 4 Years
Objectives:

To complete the introgression of sprouting tolerance from hexaploid wheat into high yielding, low cadmium accumulating durum wheat germplasm. To develop high through-put DNA markers to speed the introgression of dormancy into durum wheat. To develop and characterize low temperature dormancy in CWRS backgrounds.
