The Centre is involved with a wide range of research activities. A major focus is developing improved varieties of barley, corn, oats, soybeans and wheat for eastern Canada, and providing expertise on plants, fungi and insects for biocontrol and genetic improvement. The Centre holds the largest bioresource reference collections of fungi, insects and vascular plants in Canada in support of efforts to protect Canada's borders from invasive pests.
