Saskatchewan's nuclear research funding will have benefits in a wide range of applications including agriculture: http://www.producer.com/2012/03/nuclear-research-funding-may-benefit-agriculture%E2%80%A9/ "New funding from the Saskatchewan government will assist nuclear research at the University of Saskatchewan, part of which could go to agricultural projects.
Innovation minister Rob Norris signed a multi-year agreement last week for the province’s Innovation Saskatchewan agency to provide $30 million in funding for the Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation at the university.
And when the research centre puts out the call for proposals later this year, the CCNI’s interim director John Root said there could be interest from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.
“Part of what we’re doing is to help set up a lab to enable medical imaging research and development, and one of the applications there could be in getting a better idea about imaging in plants,” said Root, also the director of the National Research Council’s Canadian Beam Centre."
