Help spread the word! 📅 1st UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) CBL Wheat Field Day. We'll demonstrate our wheat breeding pipeline, showcase our brand new wheat varieties & varieties near release. Please RSVP using the link below if you wish to attend. forms.gle/fzfnNkLpSM8q53…


‘UA Brynn’ has the potential to replace all other varieties growing besides it in this photo! FP Genetics Canadian Wheat Research Coalition If you want to see all these demo plots + plots of our upcoming varieties & much more, sign up for our CBL Field Day on 29th July forms.gle/fzfnNkLpSM8q53…



Please share widely!📚 We UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) are recruiting 1 PhD student (start-asap) to work on wheat end-use quality at the intersection of biochemistry, cereal chemistry & molecular genetics. If you’re interested, get in touch via email. Generous stipend+paid tuition. You’ll work here👇


Great rust expression in our BC nursery. BC, without question, is the best place for stripe rust screening. Our Sask Wheat NSERC / CRSNG funded BC nursery is tremendously helping us build resistance, develop resistant varieties, & train HQPs! #PublicWheatBreeding #Genetics_at_work


Couldn’t resist dropping some early morning shots showing active sporulation. These are some easy culls. Such a disease pressure helps us increase genetic gains for rust resistance in future wheat varieties!

Did you’ve a chance to look at👇 two very high yielding varieties (UA Brynn and Alotta) at Ag in Motion from our UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) program. If not, sign up for our field day: forms.gle/fzfnNkLpSM8q53… We can’t wait to showcase our new candidate CWRS, CPS, GP wheat varieties in the pipeline.




How are researchers working to control leaf spot diseases in cereal crops? grainswest.com/2025/01/contro… Alberta Grains #leafspotcomplex


Big thanks to my good friend & a great colleague Upinder Gill for helping screen many of our breeding lines in his stem & leaf rust nursery in Prosper, ND. With this we’ve covered stem rust screening capacity in my breeding program. This nursery has already helped us kill poor lines.



1st CBL Wheat Field Day is in books! A splendid day for UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) crew to showcase new varieties, genetics research & interact with growers, & seed industry. Thanks Canadian Wheat Research Coalition Alberta Grains Sask Wheat Manitoba Crop Alliance WGRF RDAR (Results Driven Agriculture Research) for funding More photos below:
