Raising the Grain: OSU Agriculture reinvents wheat for the future

Tue, Sep 09, 2025

In the past 25 years, OSU Ag Research’s wheat breeding program has kept stripe rust and leaf rust at bay in wheat crops with varieties like Gallagher, Smith’s Gold, Green Hammer, OK Corral and Paradox; created durable dual-purpose wheat with varieties like Endurance, Duster, Gallagher and Doublestop CL+; released varieties that offer tolerance to the grassy weed herbicide Imazamox (Doublestop CL+ and Orange Blossom CL+); and discovered an altered version of what is now one of the most important disease-resistant wheat genes in breeding programs across the world. OSU’s wheat team hasn’t stopped there.
