The goal of the project is to introgress new diversity into pea germplasm for improvement of key traits for breeding Three diverse varieties identified as donors of heat stress resistance, high speed portien content, and improved Aphanomyces root rot resistance were introgressed as short…Read More
Technology platform for comprehensive nutritional profiling of seeds
Improved grain nutritional quality is an important factor for marketing grain and hence is an important breeding objective for most crop species However, accurate measurement of the concentration of micro- and macro-nutrients in seeds requires multiple analytical methods, often involving…Read More
