New Plant Breeding Program Will Focus on Native Species
August 8, 2006
More Canadian-grown flowers may soon be sprouting in local greenhouses, thanks to a new breeding program for native species being developed at the University of Guelph.
Prof. Al Sullivan, Department of Plant Agriculture, is developing a breeding program specifically for flowers indigenous to Canada. He says once established, it will help the nation's horticulture markets gain a unique competitive advantage by raising native plants.
