ECR Fellowship: Global Adaption of Wheat
Understanding and predicting genotype by environment interactions for the benefit of the Australian grains industry. The contribution of static and temporal biotic and abiotic stresses to GxE will be examined while mapping genetic effects will enable breeders to make better selections.
This project contributes a better understanding and prediction of genotype by environment interactions (GxE) to add value to: (i) the already existing CAIGE project for the benefit of the wheat breeding industry, and (ii) the wheat NVT resources for the benefit of the Australian wheat breeders as well as growers through knowledge and analytics. Work dissects the environmental and genetic components of GxE. For example, static and temporal biotic and abiotic stresses contribute to the environmental effects driving GxE in different ways but are often compounded. These are explored. While mapping genetic effects that contribute to GxE will enable breeders to make better selections to take advantage of GxE.
