Wheat Microbiomes and Multiple Disease Resistance

A major goal of PNW wheat breeders is to produce varieties with resistance to the large number of diseases that affect wheat in the region. What wheat diseases in the PNW can be reduced through microbiome genetic resistance? What is the most effective way to evaluate effects of wheat on microbiome populations that suppress disease? Join us for From the Field: Farm Chat with Idaho Wheat, as we sit down with Chris Mundt, Cereal Pathologist and Professor at Oregon State University, to answer these questions and talk about valuable insights to disease resistance crops in the Pacific Northwest.
