Crop Genomics

🌟 We are celebrating 20 years of Generating Impact in Alberta! Learn more about our role in driving innovation for the #forestry sector through genomics and help us shape the future of forestry in our province! Share your thoughts at: genomealberta.ca/sectors/forest… #AlbertaForestWeek

We are excited to share our latest research in @HeredityJournal! We explore multi-environment GWAS & genomic prediction in white spruce, uncovering key genetic insights into productivity, defense, and climate adaptability traits. 🔗 Read here: rdcu.be/d9Do6

Congratulations to Pouya Ahadi, Baski and Juan for this Best Methodological #Heredity paper that addresses #plantbreeding and crossing design efficiency! It was a great fun! linkedin.com/posts/charles-…

Great start to the newly funded BFF-AFIRMS, computing ecosystem and fingerprinting platforms for Sw & Pl for AB's tree improvement programs. 2 days of talks and extension has brought the community together. Thank you to all participants and funders!

From 2018-20, 6 million hectares of forest/year were cleared for commodity production. This needs to decrease by 1.2 mil ha/year (20% compared to 2021) through 2025 to reach the zero commodity-driven deforestation target. ➡️ow.ly/UKCj50LjArB #COP27 #GlobalForestAssessment
