GRDC Code: UMU1506-001RTX
UMU00048 - Genetic approaches to reduce the nitrogen dilution effect and increase nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) in wheat in wheat
The nitrogen dilution effect refers to the observation that high wheat yields are often associated with low grain protein content (GPC). As grain protein is a key determinant of price, growers seek to maintain both high yield and high GPC.This…- Project start date:

UMU00046 Improved Adaption of Barley to Acid Soils
Soil acidity with high levels of toxic aluminium is the largest (in area) soil constraint limiting sustainable barley production in Australia. Tolerant barley varieties are available but some of the more tolerant genotypes are associated with a blue …- Project start date:

CUR00024 - Genetics of wild germplasm, gene-pool expansion and integrated ASSD approach to enhance adaptive potential in chickpea
Cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) has a narrow genetic base which constrains the ability to find valuable genetic diversity that could be used in developing improved varieties for Australian growers. This project aimed to broaden genetic…- Project start date:

UMU00044 - Identifying low pH tolerance and effective rhizobia for wild Cicer to improve adaptation to acid sandy soils
Soil acidity restricts plant growth mainly due to the toxicity effects of Aluminium (Al) and Manganese (Mn). Deficiencies of Molybdenum (Mo), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) can also occur in acid soils. In Western…- Project start date:
