Beyond the Yield Podcast: Enhancing durum genetic resistance to tan spot

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Marwa Laribi, Research Associate at the University of Alberta and Sydney Wong, MSc candidate at the University of Alberta, to discuss tan spot in durum wheat. In the episode, you'll learn how their research is laying the foundation for enhancing tan spot resistance in future Canadian durum varieties. 

The conversation explores how tan spot impacts cereal crops across Western Canada, the role of genetic resistance and fungicides in disease control and what researchers are learning about the pathogen and resistance and fungicides in disease control and what researchers are learning about the pathogen and resistance genes through their current work.
