This research is examining the dependence of key physical and biochemical factors underlying CWRS wheat processing quality for breadmaking as a function of genotype (G), the crop growing environment (E) and G x E interac…
Understanding the basis of early maturity in wheat may lessen the use of herbicides through improved competition with weeds, and may also improve the quality of harvested wheat. This research will use techniques of both …
The use of sourdough in industrial baking reduces ingredient cost, achieves “clean label” solutions by replacement of additives, and the quality of bread. Fermentations are carried out at the bakery or by specialized…
This proposed research project aims to generate and deploy novel genomic tools for breeding of future generation of Canadian wheat and barley cultivars that are tolerant to PHS.
The purpose of this project is to enhance our feed and forage barley and triticale breeding programs by optimizing the application of the most recent molecular techniques.
Evaluation of DON content in 2,250 CDC breeding lines grown in the collaborative AAFC Brandon FHB nursery located in Brandon, MB and 150 CDC lines grown in collaborative FHB nurseries located in Morden, MB, Ottawa, ON an…
Barley production across Canada continues to be threatened by diseases, and the increasing resistance and adaptation of these diseases to fungicides.
In order for barley to stay competitive, it is crucial to continually develop new varieties that will increase yields while also addressing disease threats and changing environmental, economic and market conditions.
In order to increase the growth of barley in western Canada, it is critical to continue to develop varieties that are adapted to our growing conditions and offer ideal end-use qualities.
Barley production across Canada continues to be threatened by diseases. This research aims to address this by developing disease-resistant barley varieties.
Genetic markers have allowed breeders to more rapidly develop new and improved varieties. However, there is potential to increase the efficiency of this technology even more while also decreasing the cost associated with…
Demand for Canada’s high-quality malt and feed barley is increasing. To prepare for and nurture this growth, it is critical that we continue to develop barley varieties with improved traits.
Team Alberta estimated the total value of unharvested acres in 2019 at $778 million. Such huge risks to the crops can be minimized by harvesting crops as soon as they reach physiological maturity and grain can be artific…
Lodging is a serious production and management constraint for barley growers that can have significant impacts on yield. While breeding for standability (or resistance to lodging) is a primary goal of barley breeding pro…
Research is Alberta Grains' most significant investment for a reason. Development of new, improved genetics and best management practices will be key to helping producers adapt to changing environments, government policies and both domestic and international market demands, all while maximizing their profit.
