  UWA00175 - An integrated platform for rapid genetic gain in pulse crops

  Pulse genetic improvement has been constrained by the long lifecycle of the plant; a feature that results in slow rates of genetic gain in breeding programs. The objectives of this project are to further develop an Accelerated Single Seed Descent…

  UMU00049 - 2016.02.01F - Maintenance of grain plumpness and transfer of heat tolerance into Australian barley germplasm

  Annual average economic losses from heat damage in Australian wheat crops are estimated to be about $1.1billion. Climate models predict that in the grain belt of Australia the average temperature will increase by 2-3 C and rainfall will decrease by…

  US00080 - 2016.02.01G A national approach to improving heat tolerance in wheat through more efficient carbon allocation

  Heat damage which predominantly arises from heat shock or longer-term temperatures above optimum during the reproductive and grain filling stages, is one of the most regular and limiting constraints to Australian wheat production.This project…

  US00075 - Integrated Genetic Solutions to Crown Rot in Wheat

  Crown rot is an important disease of wheat in Australia. Development of resistant varieties has been hampered by the lack of reliable, repeatable, and robust phenotyping methods suitable of use in commercial breeding programs. Furthermore, the…

  CSP00192 - Development of gene deployment strategies: using evolutionary principles to optimise the development of genetic resistance in…

  Disease control in agriculture is very often ephemeral with resistance based on genetic approaches often showing little durability. A major source of this instability lies in the fact that host-pathogen systems are biotic interactions in which both…

  CSP00199 - Validation trials for dwarfing genes, vigour x management interactions, and preliminary assessment of rate of grain-filling

  Grain yield is a genetically complex character making selection for combinations of favourable alleles for performance under water limitation difficult. A previous project used GRDC's managed environment facilities (MEF) to provide reliable…
