The Wheat Hub’s research period has officially drawn to a close but please click below to view our
ONLINE SHOWCASE !!
Our Mission
Enhance productivity and secure high grain quality of wheat in the hot and dry Australian climate.
Our Goals
- Develop wheat with combined heat and drought tolerance by advancing existing knowledge and technologies and transferring wheat material and knowhow to breeding programmes
- 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 providing breeders access to the latest scientific developments and technologies.
- Develop and test high-throughput field phenotyping tools for Australian breeders
