Overview
We study resistance to fungal diseases in springand winter wheat.In 2021, the group generated and genotypedrecombinant spring and winter wheat linesshowing improvement in agronomic traits (yield,earliness, resistance to several fungal diseases).Molecular genotyping and tissue culture methods are used.
