Average prairie canola yield relative to spring wheat. From about 1990 to 2011, canola yield was gaining relative to wheat- driven by improved weed control, hybrid vigour, & the elimination of early maturing, lower yielding B.rapa, which was about 30% of canola acres

We are making plans on how to name our future cereal (mostly wheat) varieties & looking to add a prefix with varieties’ names.
Which prefix do you think will rhyme well with names & help us build a brand around our research program?
We are pleased to announce the joint meeting of 17th International Cereal Rusts and Powdery Mildew Conference (ICRPMC) & Annual Meeting of Canadian Phytopathological Society (CPS) @phytopathca will be held @UBC Vancouver from June 15-22, 2025.

Last week I had the pleasure to attend and deliver a student keynote talk @CWS2023! I made so many great connections with other students and researchers across the country. Thank you to the organizers for your hard work to make it happen!
Dr. Sheryl Tittlemier, Manager of the Trace Organics and Trace Elements program in our Grain Research Lab, also presented yesterday at the Canadian Wheat Symposium (@CWS2023). Thanks for attending our sessions! #CdnAg#CWS2023#AgSci https://t.co/HcaNNbkHEb
Had an amazing time with brilliant wheat scientist community @CWS2023@UBC .Gratitude to incredible organizers for an outstanding event @CBL_UBC . Looking forward to future collaborations & more inspiring moments.
Dr. Santosh Kumar has been working on breeding wheat to ensure the crop is able to handle challenges such as climate change and extreme weather, hoping to bolster the world’s food supply and ensure farms are sustainable at the same time. https://t.co/isbnnqecYW #bdnmb
Great talks, networking, food, entertainment, and a lot more at @CWS2023. A new benchmark for scientific meetings set by @gurcharn_brar and his team. Congratulations for organizing such a great symposium.
