| Description | This travel award has enabled a extremely and supportive collaboration to be established between AAFC, Morden, Canada and NIAB, Cambridge, UK, that has advanced the science at NIAB. |
| Exploitation Route | The sources of rust resistance identified will be of value to wheat breeding progammes in Canada and the UK. |
| Sectors | Agriculture Food and Drink |
| Description | Identification of multiple disease resistance in the wheat cv. Toropi |

| 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. |
| Start Year | 2017 |
