This project aims to identify key genes associated with heat stress tolerance by unlocking available genetic variation in sorghum. Drawing on crop physiology, genetics, molecular biology and integrated systems modelling, the project will develop important insights into the basis of thermostability. A predictive capability will be developed to identify new genomic combinations having superior heat stability. More heat tolerant sorghum cultivars should deliver enhanced resilience in cropping and deliver more stable profitability for farmers and reduced food security risk.

该项目旨在通过解锁高粱中可用的遗传变异来确定与热胁迫耐受性相关的关键基因。利用作物生理学、遗传学、分子生物学和综合系统建模，该项目将对热稳定性的基础提出重要见解。将开发预测能力以鉴定具有上级热稳定性的新基因组组合。更耐热的高粱品种应能提高作物的适应能力，为农民提供更稳定的盈利能力，并降低粮食安全风险。
