ENHANCEMENT OF SCAB RESISTANT WHEAT CULTIVARS ADAPTED TO THE SOUTHEAST

Objective

The most effective means to alleviate yield and quality losses of wheat is the development of wheat cultivars with good scab resistance. The objective of this project is to develop lines that have resistance equal to the level of Sumai 3 without the negative effect on grain yield.
