Manipulating spike architecture to improve wheat yield (UAD3123)
START
July 1, 2023
FINISH
June 30, 2024
Summary
This project will be undertaken by SARDI researchers who will use a novel bread wheat mapping population and high-throughput phenotyping method (X-ray computed tomography) to measure spike traits that contribute to yield, and identify genetic markers associated with improved yield for breeding programs. This project includes controlled environment studies and field trials.
