Video: WEBINAR: Protecting Sm1: New Research on Wheat Midge Resistance with Dr. Tyler Wist

Watch Dr. Tyler Wist, Research Scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Saskatoon as he shared insights into his funded wheat research project under the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership. This funded research targets wheat midge and its parasitoids across the western Canadian Prairies. Funding from a previous CAP resulted in the discovery of a mechanism behind oviposition deterrence (preventing insects from laying eggs) in several wheat varieties. Through ongoing surveying, Dr. Wist and his team are determining what factors impact where wheat midge lay eggs and what varieties have better genetic response to wheat midge pressure. Dr. Wist shared how his research will dig into continued breeding initiatives, and what additional control methods are being produced beyond the Sm1 gene.
