Research Project:
SCREENING AND DEVELOPING WHEAT GERMPLASM WITH RESISTANCE TO SCAB
Project Number: 0500-00053-002-38
Project Type:
Grant
Start Date: Apr 28, 2005
End Date: Apr 27, 2009
Objective:
Enhance the resitance to scab of new wheat cultivars in the mid-Atlantic region.
Approach:
Screen elite lines in the Maryland breeding program for resistance to scab as well as screen the Uniform Eastern and Uniform Southern Scab nurseries. Develop soft red winter wheat germplasm adapted to the mid-Atlantic region with increased resistance to scab. Utilize molecular marker assisted selection to accelerate and improve the efficiency of selection.
