This project will focus on improving efficiencies of dryers currently installed by producers in MB and used for the other crops represented by MCA. A combination of engineering analysis and field testing will be peformed to quantify grain dryer efficiences… 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

The work proposed in this LOI extends the scope of the study beyond the genetic/QTL analysis to integrate genome wide RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and targeted metabolomics approaches to identify novel genes and molecular variants that can accelerate wheat breeding for PHS… Read More

By evaluating the response of Canadian wheats grown in Western Canada to specific nitrogen and sulfur agronomic management strategies, western Canadian producers will be able to demonstrate that they are utilizing best management practices to reduce creation of the acrylamide… Read More

The main goal of this project is to develop short- and long-term strategies for mitigating the effects of excess moisture on wheat yield an quality. Read More

This project will produce information for breeders that will help optimize grain dormancy and maintain malting and storage quality, while allowing good seed germination. Read More

This research is designed to test different factors of environmental impacts on CWRS wheat quality with a focus on gluten strength related measures Read More
