Research Project:
COOPERATIVE RESEARCH FOR SCREENING AND DEVELOPMENT OF WHEAT GERMPLASM WITH IMPROVED RESISTANCE TO STRIPE RUST
Location: Plant Science Research
Project Number: 6645-22000-016-02
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Mar 29, 2006
End Date: Sep 30, 2009
Objective:
The objective of the cooperative research between the University of Arkansas and the USDA Agricultural Research Service is to evaluate and identify sources of resistance to wheat stripe rust.
Approach:
The University of Arkansas will obtain, plant, manage, evaluate, and harvest (if needed) uniform nurseries and other germplasm sources of wheat for evaluation to the wheat stripe rust pathogen, Puccinia striiformis. The wheat germplasm will be evaluated for resistance by Dept of Plant Pathology personnel using standard evaluation rating scales at one or more locations in the State of Arkansas, where stripe rust is known to occur. Data will be put into a standard electronic format and given to the ARS project coordinator.
