  • The Next Wave of Canola Research Western Canadian Researchers Hope to Give New Canola Cultivars a Shot in the Peduncle by Introducing Genes from Other Plants
    Volume 39, Number 15 | OCTOBER 7, 2013 $4.25 PRACTICAL PRODUCTION TIPS FOR THE PRAIRIE FARMER www.grainews.ca The next wave of canola research Western Canadian researchers hope to give new canola cultivars a shot in the peduncle by introducing genes from other plants LISA GUENTHER ntroducing genes from other plants into canola cultivars will do everything from bump up yields to fend off flea bee- Itles to impart disease resistance. Dr. Habibur Rahman, a canola researcher with the University of Alberta, is working on several projects to improve future canola cultivars. In one project, he and his research team are introducing genes from related crops such as cauliflower, cabbage, Chinese cab- bage, rutabagas, and Chinese kale to improve agronomics. “The main (goal) is to increase yield and to increase resistance to diseases like clubroot,” says Rahman. He also aims to improve other agronomic traits by diversi- fying canola’s germplasm. Right now Rahman is devel- oping germplasm in greenhouses and conducting field trials. In two or three years they will be testing some of the hybrids. If a par- ticularly promising hybrid comes along, it might move into com- mercial development, but right now the goal is to simply broaden the genetic basis of the canola germplasm. Viterra is contributing $1.6 mil- lion to the research in cash and in kind. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council is throwing in another $1.5 million.

Photo: Don Hall 02 Message from the President It has been another busy and successful year at the MacKenzie Art Gallery with great cause for optimism as we look ahead. Among many highlights, 2014/2015 was notable for increased attendance, engaging more than 160,000 with the Gallery. It was also a year of firsts: with a retrospective of renowned Regina artist Wilf Perreault, the first solo exhibition for Troy Coulterman, and the innovative milestone exhibition Moving Forward, Never Forgetting which featured a selection of recent acquisitions from our permanent collection – many exhibited at the MacKenzie for the first time. Another first with this exhibition was the MacKenzie’s engagement of “Story Keepers” – who interacted with visitors and functioned as conduits of Indigenous knowledge, stories and experience. Every one of these exhibitions brought new visitors to the MacKenzie, and it’s a path we look forward to following as we navigate our future as Saskatchewan’s largest and most compelling public art gallery. 2014/2015 was also the first full year that our Executive Director and CEO Anthony Kiendl served with the MacKenzie. Anthony’s commitment to transformational change at the Gallery was made very clear over this past year and, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, I’d like to express how much we’ve enjoyed working with him to clarify a vision for the future of the MacKenzie Art Gallery.
