DPIRD Genetic Improvement team
Genetic Improvement Research Priorities
- Enhance abiotic stress tolerance
- Enhance disease resistance
- Enhance commercial potential (yield, quality)
- Germplasm resourcing
- Technology adoption and development (image/sensor based phenotyping; gene editing)
Priority Projects
- Doubled haploid production
- NVT disease screening services
- Precision gene editing for targeted trait improvement in grain crops
- Fast tracking the delivery of improved chilling tolerance chickpea for Australian growers
- Increasing stable lupin productivity through enhanced disease resistance
- Increasing wheat yield and yield stability through improved heat tolerance during grain filling
