Enhancing Genomic Prediction for Changing Environments in Wheat

恶劣天气是澳大利亚农业面临的主要风险。该项目旨在开发下一代农业工具，以释放小麦的自然潜力，提高不同季节和地区的产量稳定性。利用作物生理学、遗传学和综合建模，本项目希望产生新的知识和技术，以理清影响生产力的遗传和环境相互作用，提高预测能力，并启动先进的育种策略，开发对气候变化具有卓越适应能力的作物新品种。这将带来显著的好处，如小麦种植者的利润稳定、全球市场地位的提高和粮食安全的改善。

Adverse weather is the primary risk faced by the Australian agriculture industry. This Project aims to develop the next generation of agriculture tools to unlock natural potential in wheat and improve yield stability across seasons and regions. Drawing on crop physiology, genetics and integrated modelling, this Project expects to generate new knowledge and technologies to untangle genetic and environmental interactions that affect productivity, enhance predictive capability, and initiate advanced breeding strategies to develop new crop varieties with superior resilience against changing climates. This should provide significant benefits, such as profit stability for wheat growers, elevated global market position and improved food security.
