The project “Hybrid Wheat for Food Security” is an innovative wheat research and breeding project targeting food security in India and Pakistan as well as benefitting the UK wheat growers through the eventual introduction of high yielding wheat hybrids. Partners in India, Pakistan, Australia and UK will work together on establishing wheat hybrid testing in South Asia and UK utilising an innovative, non-GMO, non-chemically based, hybrid system. Experienced scientists in Australia will attempt to improve the hybrid system further using molecular and cytogenetic technologies. KWS, UK’s market leader for wheat, will manage and coordinate the project, with the main aim of improving the food security for millions of people in South Asia. In addition, through application of the technology to breeding programmes in the UK, the hybrid system can be rigorously scrutinised using state-of-the-art field trialling facilities, which will facilitate implementation in breeding programmes in South Asia.

“粮食安全杂交小麦”项目是一个创新的小麦研究和育种项目，旨在印度和巴基斯坦的粮食安全，并通过最终引入高产小麦杂交品种使英国小麦种植者受益。印度、巴基斯坦、澳大利亚和英国的合作伙伴将共同努力，利用创新的、非转基因、非化学的混合系统，在南亚和英国建立小麦杂交测试。澳大利亚经验丰富的科学家将尝试利用分子和细胞遗传学技术进一步改进混合系统。英国小麦市场领导者 KWS 将管理和协调该项目，其主要目标是改善南亚数百万人的粮食安全。此外，通过将该技术应用于英国的育种计划，可以使用最先进的田间试验设施严格审查混合系统，这将有助于南亚育种计划的实施。
