University of Queensland scientists propose widening the genetic combinations and growing conditions examined in breeding programmes to uncover options for improving productivity and resilience as conventional gains slow.
The four-year TRITON programme will combine artificial intelligence, crop modelling and gene editing to accelerate breeding for climate resilience, with an emphasis on making research tools accessible internationally.
The EU-funded EVOLVE project will investigate whether signals released by wheat roots can influence beneficial microorganisms, potentially opening routes to improved nutrient use and drought resilience through future breeding.
A University of Idaho-led research collaboration is developing harvest-integrated measurements and AI models to connect crop genetics with stalk strength, aiming to improve breeding for resistance to bending and breakage.
