• GRDC Code: UOA2404-013RTX

  Validation of targeted genetic improvements in yield potential and water use efficiency in wheat

  Climate change is predicted to increase the variability of rainfall, further negatively impacting the profitability of Australian grain producers. Novel genetic technologies provide an opportunity to manipulate plant traits related to water use…

  Hyper Profitable Crops - cereal paddock benchmarking and innovation groups

  In the high rainfall zones of Australia, there are significant gaps between the crop yields produced in commercial paddocks and the water-limited yield potential. A considerable amount of RD&E has been conducted in the high rainfall zones (e.g.…

  Expediting the delivery to industry of a novel method of eliminating Late Maturity alpha-amylase in wheat

  Wheat growers face quality and pricing challenges due to Late Maturity -Amylase (LMA) and Pre-harvest Sprouting (PHS), caused by the enzyme Wheat alpha-amylase type one (TaAMY1). This enzyme's stochastic accumulation during grain development can …

  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…

  NGN - Development of management strategies for controlling Phalaris in Northern NSW and Southern QLD

  Phalaris is a winter annual grass which was ranked as the 9th most prevalent weed in the Northern region in 2016. The current impact of this weed is likely much greater, as in recent years Phalaris has increasingly become a problem weed in the…

  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…
