@tosinfalade @DrJoeAbah Thank you.

[Stephen Awodele, PAg @stephen_awodele]

Excited to share that our multilocation field trials screening diverse pea accessions for root rot resistance across Western Canada—Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan—have been completed for 2024.

Field screening of pea genotypes for root rot resistance looking good in our 'Location 1' field nursery. Good genetic makeup speaks more than a thousand words.

Super excited to share my new publication on F. avenaceum root rot resistance in peas. https://t.co/6GfOjsMVTu
This study provides phenotypic insights for my research utilizing genomics and transcriptomics to map the resistance genes & break the linkage with anthocyanin genes.

@BankolePh Thank you, sir.

[Stephen Awodele, PAg @stephen_awodele]

I am incredibly excited to announce that I have achieved my new designation as a Professional Agrologist (PAg) and have been accepted as a full member of the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists.

This accomplishment follows the completion of a rigorous 3-year articling (professional development) program and successfully passing my professional exam.

I am committed to using my knowledge, training, and skills to contribute to sustainable agricultural development in Canada.

🌱🔬 Dive into my latest research journey in Dr. Tom Warkentin's Lab, @usask, as I decode the resistance of Fusarium root rot disease.

💡 In this video, you will learn how pea genetics and genomics with a touch of bioinformatics hold the key to battling Fusarium root rot disease.

It's #WorldPulsesDay, let's cultivate a healthier future together by empowering peas to fight back and thrive! 🏋‍♀️
