Plants have clever ways of quickly adapting to environmental stress. They can even pass these changes on to their progeny without changing their DNA sequences. The study of epigenetics focuses on these kinds of changes. Researchers are looking at whether they can make some of these natural adaptations to stress permanent – or use them to find markers to guide the selection process in breeding programs.

Farming is an innovative business, and managing resistance is one area where that shines especially bright. Many farmers who deal with resistance – whether herbicide-resistant weeds, insecticide-resistant insects, or fungicide-resistant diseases – have developed some method of coping that works for them – and might for others.

Jennifer Hubert, executive director of plant biotechnology with CropLife Canada and head of Manage Resistance Now, is looking for on-farm, resistance management success stories with the recently launched Pest Management Challenge. In this episode of Inputs, Hubert discusses the importance of maintaining the tools we currently have, and the goals of the challenge – one of which is to create a peer-to-peer information-sharing hub.
