Quantitative trait loci and genomewide association mapping in western Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DownloadSpring 2016
Early maturity, grain yield and grain protein content are some of the important traits in western Canadian wheat breeding programs. A series of experiments were conducted to explore the genetic basis of days to heading, and maturity, plant height, grain protein, grain yield and related traits. In...

Soil microbial communities and grain quality as affected by spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar and grain mixtures in organic and conventional management systems
DownloadFall 2011
It may be possible to tailor crop management to encourage diverse soil microbial communities and beneficial microorganisms, and produce high quality food products. Studies were carried out in 2005-2007 to evaluate the impact of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar choice and crop...

Nelson, A. G., Spaner, D. M., Frick, B., Clapperton, M.J., Hucl, P. J., Thavarajah, D., Quideau, S. A.
Abstract: Micronutrient deficiencies in the diet of many people are common and wheat is a staple food crop, providing a carbohydrate and micronutrient source to a large percentage of the world’s population. We conducted a field study to compare five Canadian red spring wheat cultivars (released...

Transcriptome analysis of the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat
DownloadFall 2023
Tan spot, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a foliar disease of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. turgidum, respectively) that can cause significant yield and quality losses. Disease development involves the differential production of...

Understanding the flowering gene complex in bread wheat is important to utilize the maximum production potential in a time-limited growing season. Vernalization (Vrn), photoperiod (Ppd) and earliness per se are the three genetic constituents of the flowering gene complex. A series of experiments...

Weeds promote greater arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi benefit in organically managed spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation system
DownloadFall 2012
Weeds appear to enhance soil microbial benefit in organic agricultuer. We examined effects of weed and microbial effects on spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield and quality under organic management systems. Canadian spring wheat cultivars were planted in weed-free and weedy treatments in...
