  Developing metabolite and lipid biomarkers to select for reduced frost sensitivity in wheat

  Frost events near flowering significantly reduce wheat yields across the Australian cropping belt. Previous research, with limited germplasm, hinted at specific plant tissue composition-metabolites and lipids-as potential contributors to underlying…

  [NBC] Program 1 - Monitoring and screening: Monitoring of Net Blotch populations for new virulences of industry significance

  Net Form of Net Blotch (NFNB; Pyrenophora teres f. teres) and Spot Form of Net Blotch (SFNB; Pyrenophora teres f. maculata) have a high capacity to adapt to host resistance genes. Therefore, new strains can emerge that can quickly become a…

  [NBC] Program 4 - In-field high throughput phenotyping of Net Blotch in barley

  The most damaging pathogen to barley production in Australia is Net Blotch. Efforts to improve genetic resistance or develop fungicide controls for Net Blotch are critical to a productive future for Australian barley growers. However, successful…

  Determining the effect of wheat morphological and anatomical traits on frost susceptibility of wheat

  In Australian cropping environments, frosts represent a major and increasingly regular constraint to wheat yields and enduring grower profitability. The most damaging frosts are those that occur in spring when cereals are close to, or at flowering.…

  Accelerating development and deployment of long-hypocotyl canola to improve establishment

  Canola is Australia's most important oilseed crop with more than 8 million tonnes produced in 2022 and valued at $6 billion. However, canola suffers from unreliable establishment across our major growing regions, which reduces yield potential,…

  [NBC] Program 3 - Micro-phenotyping: Digital phenotyping for enhanced disease resistance outcomes

  Foliar diseases have a significant impact on Australian barley production, with the most damaging pathogen being Net Blotch. Net blotch is caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora teres, with two different forms recognised: Net Form of Net…

  Better Sorghum through Gene Editing: larger grain with higher and more digestible protein (POC)

  Feed grains are utilised primarily as a source of energy, with most of the energy derived from the starch, and the grain protein characteristics usually of only secondary importance. The required protein in feed formulations usually is provided…
