Sclerotinia-resistant canola varieties may be in the cards
A U.S. company develops a trait that it says provides genetic resistance to sclerotinia, which can be challenging for growers
Gene editing promises to open floodgates for canola traits
Company uses the technology to develop new varieties that will target pod shatter, sclerotinia and herbicide resistance
SASKATOON — Canola growers can expect a bunch of new seed traits to hit the market in coming years as gene-editing technology takes off, says an industry official. Cibus is one company doing a lot of work on that front and is expected to commercialize three new traits in Canada before the end of this […] Read more
Durable sclerotinia resistance built into canola
Trait development company uses gene editing in its quest to reduce or eliminate the need for fungicides to control disease
One challenge in producing disease-resistant canola is to make that resistance last, said Peter Beetham. “One of the problems that plant breeders have always had when it comes to resistance is understanding how you bring about durable disease resistance,” he said. “Durable is a really key term because durability comes from a plant having multiple […] Read more
