The NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Genetic Improvement in Lentil is a long-term commitment to genetic research for lentil, an important crop in Canada for both economic and agronomic reasons. Canada has become the world's largest exporter of lentil, with Saskatchewan producing 95% of Canada's lentil and 50% of global production. Through investment in research and innovation, the University of Saskatchewan will become the global centre for lentil genetic research and development. The Research Chair program will focus on improvement in disease resistance, nutritional and seed quality traits, and root health through genetic research in wild relatives of lentils and the development of breeder-friendly marker-assisted selection strategy. Over the next 5 years, the research program will provide training of numerous graduate students and research trainees, and deliver new commercial lentil varieties for the Canadian lentil industry. Expansion of the lentil industry will create additional employment in both rural and urban regions in Canada, and make a positive contribution

NSERC 扁豆遗传改良工业研究主席长期致力于扁豆基因研究，扁豆是加拿大经济和农艺方面的重要作物。加拿大已成为世界上最大的扁豆出口国，萨斯喀彻温省生产加拿大95%的扁豆和全球50%的产量。通过对研究和创新的投资，萨斯喀彻温大学将成为全球扁豆基因研究和开发中心。研究主席计划将重点通过扁豆野生近缘种的遗传研究和开发育种友好的标记辅助选择策略来改善抗病性、营养和种子质量性状以及根系健康。在未来5年中，该研究计划将为众多研究生和研究实习生提供培训，并为加拿大扁豆行业提供新的商业扁豆品种。扁豆产业的扩张将为加拿大农村和城市地区创造更多就业机会，做出积极贡献
