Project Number: 500-53-001-14
Project Type: Grant

Start Date: Jul 13, 1999
End Date: Jul 12, 2004

Objective:
Accelerate development of resistant varieties; screen varieties and breeding lines for scab resistance in a uniform nursery.

Approach:
Screen advanced breeding lines for resistance to FHB in inoculated, misted, field nursery in four replications; rate for incidence and severity; rate kernels, visually based on 1-100 scale, based on weight using a Carter-Day grain aspirator. Screen advanced breeding lines for resistance to S. nodorum lume blotch in inoculated, misted, field nursery in four replications.
