Collaborating Locations
University of SaskatchewanBackground
The knowledge, germplasm and markers generated from this project will accelerate breeding cycles and benefit the wheat industry.
Objectives
- Characterization of Type II FHB resistance components under greenhouse conditions
- Characterization of resistance components related to disease parameters, DON and the masked mycotoxin D3G
- Characterization of phenylpropanoid related secondary metabolites contributing to FHB resistance
- Genome wide association analysis of FHB resistance components on the bread and tetraploid wheat AM panels
