Genome wide studies to improve drought stress tolerance of ethiopian barley and durum wheat varieties.
Project
Project code: 2813FS01
Contract period: 01.01.2014
- 31.12.2017
Budget: 444,573 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The aim of the project is to identify drought stress tolerant barley and durum wheat varieties in Ethiopia and to determine the genes involved in the drought tolerance. Based on these results PCR markers will be developed which enable accelerated introgression of drought tolerance. The results shall be basis for expansion of cultivation areas and securing yields in these cultures.
