BBSRC Embrapa Exploiting new technologies

项目摘要

The project builds upon a previous collaboration between plant physiologists Martin Parry (RRes), Eric Ober (NIAB) and Solange Andrade (Embrapa Cerrados). New UK and Brazilian partners will ensure a multidisciplinary, innovative approach. Anthony Hall (Liverpool) brings expertise in genomic studies and Ian Dodd (Lancaster) in drought physiology. The project will develop phenotyping tools and enhance breeding outputs at Embrapa.Rothamsted Research (RRes) has extensive field, glasshouse and controlled environment facilities, and state-of-the-art core and specialist facilities, including the farm operation, metabolomics and bio-imaging laboratories, cereal transformation and virus-induced gene silencing technologies. A large array of wheat germplasm used in current experimentation includes panels of commercial cultivars and double haploid mapping populations, and a wheat TILLING population is also available. Martin Parry and Elizabete Carmo-Silva are working towards improving wheat carbon assimilation to increase grain yield.The Centre for Genomics Research (CGR), University of Liverpool, is a major collaborative academic service centre that enables access to the latest advances in DNA sequencing and array technologies, data analyses and interpretation. Within CGR, the Plant genomics group, led by Anthony Hall, includes five post-doctoral researchers working on wheat genomics and cybra-infrastructure for plant genomics.NIAB is a pioneering research and advisory organisation. Work at NIAB is guided by industry needs and farmer focussed, with strong knowledge-exchange programmes. Expertise is in breeding and genetics, farming systems development, crop physiology, agronomy, and variety evaluation. NIAB is well-equipped with machinery for field experiments and laboratories for a wide spectrum of analytical measurements. NIAB's 'Innovation Farm' is used to communicate selected findings to the farming community.The Lancaster Environmental Centre's (LEC) offers extensive, state-of-the-art research laboratories, 15 glasshouses and 10 walk-in controlled environment rooms. Specific plant physiological equipment includes a whole-plant water use phenotyping platform and gas-exchange chamber, whole-plant pressure vessels for xylem sap collection and high throughout radioimmunossay and photoacoustic laser spectroscopy for phytohormone analysis. A field site with rainout shelters is available via a collaborative relationship with nearby Myerscough College.Embrapa Cerrados is located at Planaltina, Distrito Federal (DF), centre of Brazil. The unit has an experimental area of 2130 hectares, including 700 hectares of permanent ecological reserves. Facilities include laboratories, greenhouses, nurseries and seed processing unit. The Embrapa Cerrados team involved in this BBSRC-Embrapa project has expertise in Breeding (Julio Albrecht), Plant Physiology (Solange Andrade), Soil Science (João Santos Jr.), Microbiology (Fabio Reis Jr.) and Water Resources (Lineu Rodrigues). The group's research aims to select high yielding wheat cultivars in Savanah areas.Embrapa Trigo is located in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul (RS), south of Brazil. The unit has researchers in various areas of expertise, with a particular focus on wheat breeding. The unit has a total area of 426 hectares, of which 284 hectares are used as experimental fields. Jorge Chagas (Co-I) and Marcio Silva (Co-I) will contribute their expertise in crop science and plant breeding, respectively.The project will be closely aligned with activities under the UK-Brazil partnership for Yield Stability and Protection in a Changing Climate (PYSP), partly funded by a Newton-fund joint centre award and jointly coordinated by RRes and Embrapa. PYSP will ensure minimal duplication and maximum engagement between groups in Brazil and UK, and provide a central focus for all RRes/Embrapa activities, strengthening links across projects and ensuring greater impact and joint research synergy.

该项目建立在植物生理学家Martin Parry（RRes），Eric Ober（NIAB）和Solange Andrade（Embrapa Cerrados）之间的合作基础上。新的英国和巴西合作伙伴将确保多学科的创新方法。安东尼·霍尔（利物浦）带来了基因组研究方面的专业知识，伊恩·多德（兰开斯特）带来了干旱生理学方面的专业知识。Rothamsted Research（RRes）拥有广泛的田间、温室和受控环境设施，以及最先进的核心和专业设施，包括农场运营、代谢组学和生物成像实验室、谷物转化和病毒诱导的基因沉默技术。目前实验中使用的大量小麦种质包括商业栽培品种和双单倍体作图群体，并且小麦TILLING群体也是可用的。马丁·帕里（Martin Parry）和卡莫·席尔瓦（Carmo-Silva）正致力于改善小麦的碳同化作用，以提高谷物产量。利物浦大学基因组学研究中心（CGR）是一个重要的合作学术服务中心，可以获得DNA测序和阵列技术、数据分析和解释的最新进展。在CGR内，由Anthony Hall领导的植物基因组学小组包括五名博士后研究人员，他们致力于小麦基因组学和植物基因组学的cybra基础设施。NIAB是一个开创性的研究和咨询组织。NIAB的工作以行业需求为指导，以农民为重点，并有强有力的知识交流计划。专长是育种和遗传学，耕作系统开发，作物生理学，农学和品种评估。NIAB配备了用于现场实验的机器和用于广泛分析测量的实验室。NIAB的“创新农场”用于向农业社区传达选定的研究结果。兰开斯特环境中心（LEC）提供广泛的、最先进的研究实验室、15个温室和10个步入式受控环境室。具体的植物生理设备包括一个全植物用水表型平台和气体交换室，全植物压力容器的木质部汁液收集和高通量放射免疫分析和光声激光光谱的植物激素分析。Embrapa Cerrados位于巴西中部联邦区（DF）的普拉纳尔蒂纳，是一个拥有防雨棚的野外基地。该单位有2130公顷的实验区，其中700公顷的永久性生态保护区。设施包括实验室、温室、苗圃和种子加工单位。参与BBSRC-Embrapa项目的Embrapa Cerrados团队拥有育种（Julio Albrecht）、植物生理学（Solange Andrade）、土壤科学（João桑托斯Jr.）、微生物学（Fabio Reis Jr.）和水资源（Lineu Rodrigues）。Embrapa Trigo位于巴西南部南里奥格兰德的帕索丰多。该单位拥有各个专业领域的研究人员，特别关注小麦育种。该单位总面积426公顷，其中284公顷用作试验田。Jorge Chagas（Co-I）和Marcio Silva（Co-I）将分别贡献他们在作物科学和植物育种方面的专业知识。该项目将与英国-巴西气候变化中产量稳定和保护伙伴关系（PYSP）下的活动密切配合，部分由牛顿基金联合中心奖资助，并由RRes和Embrapa联合协调。PYSP将确保巴西和英国的团队之间最大限度地减少重复和最大限度地参与，并为所有RRES/Embrapa活动提供中心焦点，加强项目之间的联系，并确保更大的影响和联合研究协同作用。
