The TCAP is starting its third year and it is maturing nicely. The TCAP held its annual meeting on January 13 in San Diego (see page 2 for details) and it was obvious from the progress reported at the meeting that the TCAP continues to be highly successful and gaining momentum. Read full report..
The TriticeaeCAP project
USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded $25 million to develop new varieties of wheat and barley. The official name of the project is Triticeae Coordinated Agricultural Project (T-CAP). The T-CAP merges two large communities of US breeders: barley and wheat breeders, previously funded by the BarleyCAP and the WheatCAP programs respectively. As a result, researchers, breeders and educators across 21 states, from USDA and 55 universities compose the T-CAP consortium.
