Scientists identify key genes for slug resistant wheat
0Scientists have identified three regions of the wheat genome responsible for resistance to the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum). The discovery, made by scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC) as part of the SLIMERS project (Strategies Leading to Improved Management and Enhanced Resilience Against Slugs), a three-year Defra funded project which has brought together scientists, farmers and industry partners to tackle one of arable farming’s most persistent pest problems. Hopefully it paves the way for plant breeders to develop new slug resistant wheat varieties. Work in this area started back in 2015, when scientists at the JIC screened wheat…
