  • GRDC Code: DAW1901-002RTX
    Investigating phenology diversity in germplasm to optimise profitability from April sown oats
    Current milling oat varieties have a restricted season length. While early to medium spring types are available (~8 days spread when sown in late May), no late spring or winter varieties are currently commercially grown. This investment aims to…

    Accelerating wheat genetic gain by establishing a high-throughput spike phenotyping platform
    The architecture of cereal heads (or ears) is an important trait to understand cereal responses to heat and frost, as well as understanding water limited yield potential. International researchers have developed X-ray CT scanning methods to allow…

    Australian Cereal Rust Control Program -Wheat and barley breeding support
    Cereal rust diseases can cause significant yield losses. Genetic resistance in commercial varieties is an important part of the management of rusts in Australia. New rust pathotypes frequently occur in Australia, and can impact the expected…

    Australian Cereal Rust Control Program - Continued monitoring of cereal rust pathogens in Australia
    Rusts are a common fungal disease of plants, including many of Australia's cereal and horticultural crops. They are prevalent in most wheat growing areas around the world, threatening global wheat yields. Rusts are highly adaptable and evolve to …

    DAS00133-BA - Improved Resistance to oat pathogens and abiotic stress management
    The production of oat in Australia increases by about 10 to 15% annually due to growing domestic and export demand for milling oats and oaten hay. Human health benefits, agronomic advantages as a break crop in rotations and its frost tolerance are…
