Program Description:
The Durum Coordinated Project’s (DUR-CP) main objective is to develop FHB resistant durum wheat germplasm (lines/cultivars) with low DON levels, good agronomic traits, and good quality traits that will serve the producers, the domestic pasta industry, and the international export market. This includes the use of innovative research methods to develop new lines with underrepresented resistance genes. Reducing the impact of FHB in durum requires a multidisciplinary effort, and therefore strong collaboration occurs among plant breeders, pathologists, geneticists, agronomists and other individuals working in FHB management. The CP also has representation from stakeholders such as durum producers, millers, and pasta manufacturers. The Durum CP is organized around goals outlined in the VDHR and MGMT sections of the USWBSI Action Plan.
