This project will support discovery and development of novel wheat traits that impart tolerance to herbicides. This project will enhance the existing wheat weed science research program and help support the basic science to 1) develop novel methods to enhance herbicide metabolism; 2) characterize the metabolism of herbicides in these plants. This project will also provide basic collaborative research support to the CSU Wheat Breeding Program as needed.
9th year of a continuing program under the leadership of Dr. Franck Dayan, Department of Agricultural Biology.
