My stellar MSc student John Hubensky fabulously defended his thesis! 🎉
His research taught us about TPPs & their role in drought tolerance, & genetics of spike development.
Thanks @NSERC_CRSNG @SaskWheat @mb_cropalliance for the funding & @westerngrains for scholarship to John.

Wheat and barley stripe rust pan-genome facilitates discovery of the predominant North American lineage's origin in somatic hybridization
Wheat and barley stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis formae speciales tritici (Pst) and hordei (Psh) respectively is a perennial and endemic threat to those crops worldwide. Outside the Himala...
