Achieving sustainable cultivar of wheat volumes 1 and 2
| Description | This Partnering award has resulted in the successful application to the BBSRC-Embrapa Pump-Priming award. It has supported the short placement of 2 PhD students at NIAB, the 1st having successfully completed their PhD. |
| Exploitation Route | We have submitted a proposal to the BBSRC-Embrapa Wheat call. This is application was successful. |

| Description | This Brazil-UK Partnering award has now reached its end date. Two Brazilian PhD students have spent 6 months working in the UK, and staff from NIAB have visited with researchers in Brazil. This Partnering award supported a collaboration between NIAB and Brazilian partners that led to the successful Embrapa Wheat award. This Partnering award has lead to new collaborations with AAFC, Mordon and Cerom, Quebec in Canada. These collaborations have resulted in numerous publications. The Brazilian wheat Toropi has turned out to be a very valuable source of disease resistance. We have assessed yellow (stripe), brown (leaf) and black (stem) rust, and Fusarium Head Blight in Toropi. The collaboration has also supported 2 awards from the Quebec Genome Inititiative to Cerom. The disease resistance genes in Toropi have been incorporated into the spring wheat breeding progammes at AAFC, Morden and Cerom, Quebec. |

| PI Contribution | Dr Camila Zanella in my research group has analysed the data generated on a Toropi_6.4 x Thatcher wheat mapping population - SNP marker data against leaf and stripe rust phenotypic data. |
| Collaborator Contribution | AAFC screened our Toropi genotype along with Toropi_6.4 with the 90K iSelect wheat SNP array. They hosted Dr Camila Zanella for 3 weeks providing her with training in the interpretation and analysis of the 90K ANP data. |
| Impact | Manuscripts published on yellow and leaf rust resistance. Collaboration expanded to include Silvia Rosa, Cerom, Quebec, Canada. |
