Damping-off disease usually affects newly-sown plants. Problem: Caused by a soil-borne fungus, fusarium wilt affects ...

Root rots are the number one disease issue for pulse crops, significantly impacting pea and lentil fields across the Prairies ...

What can Gregor Mendel’s pea plants tell us about human disease? Single gene disorders, like Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis, actually follow Mendelian inheritance patterns.

A global team mapped pea genomic diversity, advancing breeding research, revisiting Mendel’s traits, and boosting sustainable ...

disease-resistant, agronomically viable pea plants. Working in the early days of cell theory, and before genetics was known, he focused on seven traits: pea seed shape (round or wrinkled), pea ...

Is a particular pest or disease affecting your plants? Use the A to Z links to determine what's wrong and to help you deal with the problem. If you're not sure, try our interactive Pest and ...

It will also pave the way for more predictive breeding—such as using AI models which can select combinations of genes to deliver better-yielding, disease-resistant, agronomically viable pea plants.
