GIFS researcher supports international team effort to sequence earliest domesticated wheat genome

A global team of scientists is looking to wheat’s past to help it grow into the future.

More than two dozen scientists have contributed to a project that that has sequenced and characterized genomes of wild and domesticated einkorn, the world’s first domesticated wheat species.

Dr. Raju Datla (PhD), program lead, resilient agriculture, at the Global Institute for Food Security at the University of Saskatchewan is one of the contributors to the initiative, providing molecular genetics and genomics expertise to support the analysis.

Dr. Chris Dumigan breaks down the science behind YieldON™ - the foliar biostimulant designed to boost crop productivity. Learn how adding YieldON to your reproductive-stage fungicide pass can protect yield when it matters most.

Hundreds of trials and demos since 2021 have shown that YieldON helps mitigate heat stress around application, to 'switch on' crop productivity and deliver more yield than a fungicide application alone.
