This research project will compare the new molecular markers approach to breeding cultivars that are tolerant to iron deficiency chlorosis to tradition methods based on field evaluation for tolerance. Molecular markers and IDC tolerant cultivars have been identified; this project will evaluate the two methods to determine the best strategy for developing new varieties that are tolerant to iron deficiency chlorosis.
