Meet Gurcharn Singh Brar ਗੁਰਚਰਨ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਰਾੜ, assistant professor of plant science at the University of British Columbia. Learn more about him and his research here: ow.ly/EqCt50Po6Ye #cdnag #westcdnag #MbAg

🌾I am thrilled to finally share the exciting news that I am joining Univ. of Alberta University of Alberta UAlberta Faculty of ALES as their new Assistant Professor starting Jan 2024! I’ll be leading Wheat Breeding & Genetics program focused on variety development for western Canadian wheat growers. 1/n

Our wheat F3 families!! We can’t wait to map the recessive stripe rust resistance gene in this material. Kudos to Naveen Kumar and Jujhar Singh Gill for leading this project.

We did it!! 5th Canadian Wheat Symposium 2023

I am pleased to share my first first-authored peer-reviewed paper!! Thanks to Drs. Harpinder S Randhawa 🌾, @SantoshAAFC, Muhammad Iqbal, and Randy Kutcher for their contributions!

Southern BC is the best place in Canada for stripe rust resistance screening! Change my mind. Winter wheat breeding lines from University of Manitoba prog- loaded with rust in our Abbotsford nursery. All natural. Excellent green bridge for our spring wheat nursery. Pic credit- Jujhar Singh Gill

We were all very excited for seeding! Started our advanced yield trials on a beautiful day. Fourth year since we are using WGRF funded seeder.

Training next generation of plant breeders! Jujhar Singh Gill

We can spot differences in our yield plots already! Plots are looking beautiful this year. If you want to know more about our program UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL), come visit us on July 18th for the field day. Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

We UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) run Canada’s largest (~70,000) plots) wheat FHB + stripe rust screening nursery in BC with breeding lines from UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) Crop Development Centre - USask AAFC Canada LimagrainWheat Natural rust infection is building up. Hoping for a good selection year. Funded by: Sask Wheat NSERC / CRSNG

Southern BC is unarguably the best location in Canada for screening wheat with yellow rust. This is a pic of one of the breeding lines from our UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) Abbotsford nursery. It’s all Natural infection - not inoculated. Borlaug Global Rust Initiative Canadian Wheat Research Coalition Sask Wheat NSERC / CRSNG

Our program UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) website is now live! Visit the link below for our research, team, wheat varieties description and much more exciting stuff. UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) is for and inspired by Alberta wheat & barley growers! cerealbreedinglab.ca

My lab mates often ask me how my weekend visit back home in B.C was. I tell them to direct the question towards Dr. Brar instead; who tends to occupy one day for me to visit our Abbotsford nursery🤣 P.S-this is Canada’s largest and BEST stripe rust and FHB nursery!

A collaborative study by the Open Wild Wheat Consortium (OWWC) with help from UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) sheds light on how bread wheat became one of the most successful crops on the planet. #UAlberta bit.ly/3WNNjuw

One last look at this section of plots before we start harvesting! No other crop looks as beautiful as wheat at maturity! #GliterringGold

Next up, my friend and our workshop co-organizer Upinder Gill NDSU Plant Genetics & Rust Pathology talking about use of Aegilops umbellulata in improving bread wheat. #IWC2024

Next up, my own stellar UG student Jujhar Singh Gill talking about genetics of stripe rust resistance in spelt wheat. UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) #IWC2024

Our new CPS wheat variety HY2161 is a very good replacement for AAC Penhold. We’re excited to see a lot of interest in HY2161. Name for HY2161 coming soon. Thanks to Canadian Wheat Research Coalition Alberta Grains Sask Wheat Manitoba Crop Alliance funding that led to the development of this variety.
