Breeding innovations in wheat for resilient cropping systems (BRIWECS), Subproject A

Project


Project code: 031A354A
Contract period: 01.10.2014 - 30.09.2017
Budget: 452,614 Euro
Purpose of research: Basic research

Innovations in wheat production over the past decades include besides yield improved canopy and root traits, adaptation to abiotic stress, resistances against biotic stress, better targeted N-fertilization and plant protection, as well as improved tillage and irrigation. Genetic knowledge was enhanced and dense molecular marker maps were developed. The need to further increase yields combined with improved resource efficiency and yield stability will gain importance. This project aims to provide the scientific basis for more resilient cultivars and cropping systems.
