Hybrid wheat varieties yield 10-15% more than conventional lines but a cost-effective system to produce hybrid seeds on a commercial scale is missing. This project aims to deliver such a system for use in hybrid wheat breeding programmes. The outcome will be ultimately higher wheat yield gains in Australia and worldwide. Higher and more stable yields will contribute to higher food security for the growing human population.

杂交小麦品种的产量比传统品种高出10-15%，但目前还缺乏一种具有成本效益的系统来生产商业规模的杂交种子。本项目旨在为杂交小麦育种项目提供这样一个系统。最终的结果将是澳大利亚和世界范围内小麦产量的提高。更高和更稳定的产量将有助于提高不断增长的人口的粮食安全。
