University of Saskatchewan
$6,295,580.00
Designing Crops for Global Food Security
EF 2021-22
Résumé
Building on world-renowned UofS crop development strengths, powerful computer informatics and unique-in-Canada synchrotron and other imaging facilities, we will transform plant breeding by enabling the development of new plant varieties at a previously unimaginable speed and scale. The Program will digitize plant traits to enable the linkage of phenotypes to specific genes for desired traits, support a revolutionary “by-design” approach and address policies and strategies for global uptake of new technology. By 2022, our Phenotyping and Imaging Research Centre will be the unique resource for plant breeders around the world, improving global food security and bolstering Canada’s agricultural sector.
