Overall description<br />
of wheat research<br />
NRC-Saskatoon focuses on innovative agricultural biotechnology research that improves <strong>Canadian</strong> crops <strong>and</strong><br />
human health. Genomics <strong>and</strong> marker development are key components of a successful strategy to advance wheat<br />
genetic enhancement. NRC’s expertise <strong>and</strong> capacity in molecular genetics, genomics, <strong>and</strong> development of<br />
breeding tools including doubled haploidy <strong>and</strong> markers will be deployed in collaboration with Agriculture <strong>and</strong><br />
Agri-Food Canada <strong>and</strong> the University of Saskatchewan to provide resources towards wheat genomics <strong>and</strong> the<br />
elucidation of the genetic puzzle of this important crop. Resulting advances will be incorporated into <strong>Canadian</strong><br />
