The goal of 4DWheat is to use cutting edge science to accelerate the future development of higher yielding, stress resistant wheat varieties grown by Canadian farmers thereby creating substantial economic and environmental benefits for Canadians. Read More

This project will seek to understand issues and possibilities associated with the adoption of cover cropping in western Canada. Read More

A better understanding of the factors responsible for the shift in Fusarium population and differences in trichothecene chemotype composition will enable the prediction of future population distribution, possibly related to future changes in climate. Fusarium chemotype diversity may be driven… 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

This project will provide input to policy makers and land use planners regarding areas where there is potential to improve wheat yields. Read More

The knowledge, germplasm and markers generated from this project will accelerate breeding cycles and benefit the wheat industry. Read More
