Research

Research is directed toward breeding improved wheat varieties for cropping systems in Washington state that incorporate diverse rotations and environments.  New varieties are developed using a combination of traditional plant breeding methods and biotechnology.  Research efforts include identifying genetic solutions to winter wheat production problems, thereby enhancing the sustainability of the Washington wheat industry.  Farmer participation is utilized in the development of new varieties and in research planning.
