The starting point of any breeding program is the parent material. Since the breeder cannot as yet create or modify genes to suit his requirements(this may be possible in the future by a technique called genetic engineering) he must choose parents already endowed with the genes for the qualities he wants in the new varieties. Because the new variety must be adapted into growing conditions of Western Canada, and above all, must possess milling and baking qualities characteristic of wheat grown in that area, one of the parents will usually be a typical Canadian variety. The other will be the carrier of the gene the plant breeder wishes to introduce into the Canadian variety, for example, a gene for resistance to a particular strain of stem rust. 1, record 1, English, - parent%20material

Les lignées parentales sont au point de départ de toute sélection. Comme le généticien ne peut pas encore créer ou modifier les gènes selon ses besoins (ce qui sera peut-être réalisable une fois certains travaux en cours terminés), il doit choisir des souches possédant des gènes liés aux qualités qu'on désire retrouver dans les nouvelles variétés. Puisque la nouvelle variété doit être adaptée aux conditions de croissance de l'ouest du Canada et, plus encore, posséder les valeurs meunières et boulangères qui caractérisent le blé cultivé dans cette région, l'une des souches devra être une variété canadienne typique. L'autre sera porteuse du gène que le sélectionneur désire introduire dans la variété canadienne, par exemple un gène de résistance à une certaine race de rouille noire. 1, record 1, French, - lign%C3%A9e%20parentale

The wheat specialist in this program, Norman Borlaug, worked with Mexican researchers and farmers to develop strong, short-stemmed varieties that resisted the rust diseases and gave much more grain than traditional varieties....

(...) Although Thatcher never reached the prominence of Marquis, it retained its importance much longer than Marquis. Since 1939 Thatcher has been Canada's most important variety. In 1954, about 69% of the wheat area of Western Canada was planted to this variety. Thatcher has been replaced gradually by new varieties that are more resistant to stem rust and leaf rust. In spite of its lack of resistance to some of the new strains of rust, in 1959 it was still the main variety in Alberta and the second variety in Saskatchewan, and formed 48. 6% of the wheat area of Western Canada. 1, record 7, English, - wheat%20area

Peu à peu, de nouvelles variétés plus résistantes à la rouille noire et à la rouille brune l'ont supplanté.

Wheat was introduced into Western Canada in 1812 by the Selkirk Settlers who settled in the Red River Valley of Manitoba. There were many difficult years in the early history of wheat production. On a number of occasions almost entire crops were destroyed by grasshoppers, rust epidemics and frost. With the introduction of earlier maturing and more disease resistant varieties, the industry progressed in keeping with growth of population. The first wheat exported from Manitoba was 23 tonnes of Red Fife seed to Ontario in 1876. 1, record 8, English, - Selkirk%20Settlers

Le blé a été introduit dans l'Ouest canadien en 1812 par les colons de Lord Selkirk venus s'installer dans la vallée de la Rivière Rouge, au Manitoba. De nombreuses difficultés marquèrent les premières années; à plusieurs reprises, des récoltes presque entières ont été détruites par les sauterelles, les épidémies de rouille et le gel. Grâce à l'introduction de variétés plus hâtives et plus résistantes aux maladies, la production de blé s'est développée parallèlement à l'accroissement de la population.
