    Increasing wheat nitrogen use efficiency through improved genetics
    Nitrogenous fertilizers are vital to agriculture. However, wheat crop uses less than 40% of applied nitrogen and only 33% is recovered in the grain. Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) will maximise wheat yield and grain protein and thereby…

    Validation and deployment of novel genomic regions from wild barley to enhance grain yield and yield components in domesticated barley
    Extensive domestication through breeding and selection has resulted in a genetic bottleneck in many crops, including barley. Notwithstanding that genetic gain will continue to be achieved into the future through sophisticated plant breeding…

    Improving the understanding and the effectiveness of N fixation in pulses in Australia
    Legume crops play a key role in Australian farming systems, providing on average 30kg N/ha extra for subsequent crops (ranging from 7 to 60 Kg N/ha). A review on rhizobia research by GRDC in Australia (Herridge 2021) estimated that about 80% of…

    WAARC: Innovative management approaches to maximise the use of legume crops in reducing the reliance on fertiliser N in WA cropping systems
    Supplying sufficient and timely N to cereal crops is central to maintaining high yield and grain protein concentration of cereals. Historically, much of the required N has come from biological N fixation (BNF) from pulses and pasture legumes in…

    Novel approach to determining temperature effects on wheat protein composition and quality attributes
    A hard finish due to drought and/or a hot finish to a wheat season alter post anthesis grain filling leading to lower seed set, smaller grain size and altered wheat seed content. This has immediate quality implications on screenings due to small…
