Location: Crop Production and Pest Control Research
Project Number: 5020-21220-014-025-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 22, 2025
End Date: Sep 21, 2026
Objective:
Introgress Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) tolerance and resistance genes into oat genetic backgrounds and develop DNA markers linked to these tolerance/resistance loci to facilitate oat breeding.
Approach:
This project will employ Genomic Selection (GS) and Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) to develop oat lines with enhanced resistance/tolerance to BYDV.
