Subject: Autoclave!
To Plant Science All: As the autoclave was not being used the plumber began his maintenance oof the water supply valves earlier. The autoclaves in Rm. 210 are now operational again. Cathy

Subject: Autoclaves!
The Autoclaves in Rm. 210 will not be in service tomorrow after 12 noon. A plumber needs to service the water valves that feed the autoclaves and will be turning the water off. This is just maintenance work and the autoclaves will be functional again after 4:30.
Thank you, Cathy Bay

Towards Next Generation Barley Breeding
Join us for a webinar on Jan 28, 2021 at 3:00 PM CST.
Register now!<https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8000692428707426574>
Presented by Dr. Ana Badea, Research Scientist, Barley Breeding and Genetics, Brandon Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
Barley breeding at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada – Brandon Research and Development Centre (AAFC-BRDC) has a long tradition. Through the years, barley cultivars developed at the Centre such as Parkland, Bonanza, AC Ranger, and AC Metcalfe have had a significant role for the Canadian farmers and end-users. Most recently, the newer cultivars like AAC Synergy and AAC Connect have continued to hold on and extend that success, surpassing the challenging barriers in yield and disease resistance. The seminar will cover various aspects such as the current breeding focus, methodology, and objectives of the program. Moreover, the most recent research efforts made to support the transition towards next generation breeding will be presented.
Brought to you by the Department of Plant Science Advanced Plant Science Seminar Series.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
