Anthocyanins are water-soluble phenolic pigments responsible for red, purple, blue, or even black colors in fruits, vegetables, grains, flowers, and other pigmented plant tissues. They are important components to be included in the human diet especially due to their roles… Read More

The goal of this study was to obtain a selection of crop varieties (Wheat & Canola) more resilient to excess moisture, better understand the amount and timing of excess moisture as it affects growing crops, and take measurements of critical… Read More

Currently evaluation of moisture resilience by variety is not available for producers, in spite of moisture being the most probable cause for yield reductions. This project will evaluate the performance of MCVET varieties under extreme moisture conditions. Read More

The benchmark information that will be generated by this project will address the feasibility of achieving simultaneous genetic improvement in grain yield and baking quality-related traits in order to develop more resource-use efficient varieties. Read More

Our work will focus on the development and deployment of appropriate to marker-assisted selection of wheat DNA markers that will facilitate breeding of adapted to the prairie environment elite cultivars. These DNA markers and a germplasm carrying newly discovered resistance… Read More

This project aims to breed more resilient crop varieties in the face of water stress Read More

This project will aim to develop new varieties, wth improved yields through the selection of lines with optimal reproductive and spike traits. Read More

Increasing the number of pre-registration flax sites in Manitoba, will incresae testing of lines under Manitoba growing conditions. Read More

The purpose of this project is to use field trials in multiple locations across the Prairies to grow established and new Canadian malting barley varieties annually and to generate comprehensive and comparative data on barley quality, malting performance and malt… Read More
