Plz RT: I’ll be recruiting 2-3 grad students in 2025. If you’re interested in wheat breeding, genetics/genomics of agronomic, quality, pest resistance traits, genomic selection, email me with subject line-CBL studentship. Generous stipend+tuition. We’re based in City of Edmonton


Are you a post-doc researcher? Consider applying for our 3 EARLY-CAREER AWARDS by Jan. 31, 2025. Successful candidates will be invited to deliver an oral presentation at 17th Intl Cereal Rusts & Powdery Mildew Conference Borlaug Global Rust Initiative CPS joint conference at University of British Columbia Details here: icrpmc2025.ca/conference-awa…


This is one of my fav photos (that I took) from 2024. Thanks for posing Jujhar Singh Gill Naveen Kumar Ana Laura Achilli Can you spot Jeremy Boychyn 🌾🇨🇦 in the pic?



Admiring my beautiful wheat right now. Let the selections begin! #WheatBreeding UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) University of Alberta Canadian Wheat Research Coalition Alberta Grains Sask Wheat Manitoba Crop Alliance



Mark your calendars for the 1st UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) Wheat Field Day! We will walk you through our variety development pipeline, varieties near release, and demonstrate our brand new varieties. University of Alberta UAlberta Faculty of ALES


Dear wheat researchers, our protocol Springer book is now online and can be accessed here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… Harpinder S Randhawa 🌾 Erysiphales Ana Laura Achilli Wheat Initiative Borlaug Global Rust Initiative Canadian Wheat Research Coalition UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL)


Beautiful day for seeding! We UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) finished seeding our F2s + training our new undergrad student intern Jashanpreet Singh Virhia from University of Waterloo. #PublicWheatBreeding Alberta Grains Canadian Wheat Research Coalition Sask Wheat Manitoba Crop Alliance RDAR (Results Driven Agriculture Research) WGRF University of Alberta UAlberta Faculty of ALES


Seeding of our Surrey, BC yellow rust and FHB nursery started today. Funded by NSERC / CRSNG Sask Wheat, we will screen ~40,000 breeding lines from UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) Crop Development Centre - USask and AAFC Canada. #PublicWheatBreeding Canadian Wheat Research Coalition


Joyful to watch our plots germinating & here are our F2 plants. Seeding from UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) in full swing. We’ll be done seeding ~10,000 yield plots by next week! Exciting times ahead.#PublicWheatBreeding UAlberta Faculty of ALES Canadian Wheat Research Coalition Alberta Grains Sask Wheat Manitoba Crop Alliance RDAR (Results Driven Agriculture Research)


Excited 🌾 🚜 Join us at our first UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) wheat Field Day - witness the journey of wheat variety- from breeding pipeline to grower field!!🌾 🧬 👨🌾

Our new CPS variety HY2161 is now registered as ‘UA Brynn’. With straw strength & height similar to Penhold; yield 114% of Penhold, 115% of Brandon, 106% of Faller + very good disease package, UA Brynn is a perfect replacement for Penhold, & some popular CNHR varieties! UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL)


We proudly hosted the first Pan-Canada BNI meeting to brainstorm research & collaborations across institutions & disciplines on this important trait. Photos from day 1. CIMMYT UAlberta Faculty of ALES Novo Nordisk Foundation Bram Govaerts CIMMYT


V. Good natural stripe rust infection in our BC nursery & we spread the corn spawn inoculum. Hoping for good data on breeding lines from UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) Crop Development Centre - USask AAFC Canada. This service nursery is integral for rust data for diff breeding programs. Funded by: Sask Wheat NSERC / CRSNG


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


Great start for the CBL Wheat Field Day! First stop: F2 plots. Lively talks on breeding pipelines, key wheat diseases, and vital economic traits. Gurcharn Singh Brar ਗੁਰਚਰਨ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਰਾੜ UAlberta Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) UAlberta Faculty of ALES



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:
