Project code: 031B0810, 6159
Contract period: 01.06.2019 - 31.12.2022
Budget: 424,789 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

WheatSustain will establish a close collaboration among world leading experts on genomic prediction modeling in plants and animals, bioinformatics, wheat genomics and leaders in the field of plant pathology and host-pathogen relationships for stripe rust and FHB resistance in wheat. An interdisciplinary research team is established involving cutting-edge research groups from Norway, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Mexico, USA and Canada. Plant breeders from public and private breeding programs will take active part in the research by providing germplasm with phenotypic and genotypic data, take part in disease evaluations and test out the developed breeding methodologies in their breeding programs. This dynamic research environment will also provide excellent research training for PhD students and postdocs, thereby advancing the education of future researchers and plant breeders.
