Activity 5
Title: Northern latitude soybean – physiology of yield formation and beating the cold
Lead Researcher: Rosalind Bueckert
Research Institution: University of Saskatchewan
Description:
This activity will evaluate cool temperature and abiotic stress on yield formation processes in a range of soybean varieties suited to very short seasons, including the best short season material from the Cober/Savitch soybean programs at the Ottawa Research & Development Centre, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada.
The activity will assess cool temperature and stress on yield formation in the field, to identify key traits for varietal improvement so northern latitude soybean production can beat the cold. The activity addresses yield improvement, very short season growing conditions, seed protein, cool nights, and pod height.
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.
