Activity 4
Title: Supporting western and northern expansion of soybean in Canada
Lead Researcher: Leonid Savitch
Research Institution: Ottawa Research & Development Centre, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada
Description:
This activity is based on characterization, evaluation and gradation of already registered soybean lines suggested for western and northern expansion. The output of this activity is the fundamental knowledge of the mechanisms and regulation of soybean photosynthetic cold stress tolerance and acclimation, mechanisms and regulation of cold induced delay in reproductive development, cold induced regulation of carbon metabolism and carbon partitioning and recommendations to growers and breeders.
Funding for the Soybean Cluster is provided by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada AgriScience Program through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, with industry support from the Canadian Field Crop Research Alliance (CFCRA) whose members include: Atlantic Grains Council; Producteurs de grains du Quebec; Grain Farmers of Ontario; Manitoba Corn Growers Association; Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers; Saskatchewan Pulse Growers; Prairie Oat Growers Association; SeCan; and FP Genetics.
