Title:
Discovery of gene variants of a signaling factor with performance functions
Agreement Number:
925217
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 15, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
Achieving improved performance is critical for accomplishing agriculture productivity. This challenge requires development of innovative technologies that can be applied broadly in diverse crop species. As signaling pathways play important roles in performance traits, in this project, we will investigate TOR signaling mediated functions, to identify gene targets for such traits with potential applications in crops.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
NAICS Code:
541710 - R&D in the physical, engineering and life sciences
