Dubcovsky Lab

Our laboratory focuses on identifying and characterizing genes with direct applications in wheat breeding. We study genes that regulate key traits such as spike development, flowering time, frost and drought tolerance, disease resistance, grain quality and nutritional value. Our team uses genomic tools to map, isolate, and clone genes, investigate developmental processes and gene networks that influence wheat growth and productivity. Our work supports the breeding of wheat varieties that are more nutritious, more resistant to pathogens, and better adapted to a changing climate.
