Trait Stacking to maximize resistance to wheat midge
Crop Types
- Wheat
Collaborating Locations
University of SaskatchewanBackground
The results from this project will help determine whether it is possible to enhance the effects of the Sm1 gene in terms of protecting the grain yield of spring wheat as well as increasing the quality/grade of the harvested crop. Furthermore, if the egg laying deterrence and hairy glume traits can reduce the risk of the Sm1 gene being overcome, the longevity of the Sm1 gene will be extended. Both of the deliverables have significant economic implications.
Objectives
- To assess the effectiveness of stacking the oviposition deterrence (OD) and antibiosis Sm1 traits in CWRS wheat
- To stack Hairy Glume trait with the OD and Sm1 sources of insect tolerance in CWRS wheat
