Genetics and breeding of wheat responses to abiotic and  biotic stress

 Breeding Wheat for Winter Survival: Characterization of genes associated with frost tolerance
 

Enhance quality, functionality and marketability in the in the western US of soft white and club wheat
 

Control of rusts of cereal crops
 

 

The goal is to reduce risks associated with wheat production by improving winter survival, disease resistance, grain yield and crop quality.  We focus on resistance to stripe rust, pathogenic nematodes, and the soil-borne diseases eyespot, Cephalosporium stripe, and Fusarium crown rot.  Recent cultivar releases include Cara, ARS-Chrystal and ARS-Crescent soft white club wheats, and ARS-Amber and ARS-Selbu, soft white winter wheats.
