  [OSRC] Program 3 - Neutralising oat sensitivity loci corresponding to targets of oat septoria fungal effectors

  To capitalise on growth opportunities in oats, it is important to increase Australia's oat production capacity and stability. Reducing grain yield losses to disease is an important mechanism by which growers can increase production. Septoria…

  NGN - Evaluating deep sowing of Oats in WA production systems

  There has been a trend for increasing summer rain and later autumn sowing breaks throughout the WA wheatbelt. Potential utilisation of soil moisture stored below conventional sowing depths, potentially give growers the opportunity to increase yield…

  Cereal rust isolate categorisation proof-of-concept

  Cereal rust diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi that often evolve rapidly into new virulent strains that render the genetic resistance in crops ineffective. This project aims to identify virulence genes in rust fungi that allow them to overcome…

  New metrics to quantify biological function and resilience in soils

  Biological function in soils, such as nutrient cycling, C storage and turnover, water maintenance, soil structure and biotic regulation are integral for soil health and resilience. Such soil processes are critical for the sustainability of…

  [OGQC] - Program 3: Modulating grain oil content of oats to improve suitability for milling and food/beverage ingredient development.

  Oat is presently priced through feed market mechanisms, however, for the first time, international demand for human consumption has surpassed feed demand. Oat is a highly commoditised grain within a relatively small industry with little…

  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…
