Wheat Hub
6 videos • 20 views • by Faculty of Sciences, Engineering & Technology The Mission for the Wheat Hub was to enhance productivity and secure high grain quality for wheat in the hot and dry Australian climate. In order to do this, our specific goals were to: Develop wheat with combined heat and drought tolerance by advancing existing knowledge and technologies and transferring wheat material and knowhow to breeding programs Elucidate mechanisms and molecular markers for combined heat and drought tolerance by exploring genetic diversity in wheat Identify mechanisms and genetic diversity for high yielding wheat with efficient nitrogen recycling and high grain protein Build human capacity in molecular breeding and provide breeders access to the latest scientific developments and technologies Develop and test high-throughput field phenotyping tools for Australian breeders
