Location: Plant, Soil and Nutrition Research
Project Number: 8062-21000-049-002-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 15, 2021
End Date: Aug 14, 2024
Objective:
The objectives of this cooperative research are
1) to isolate the genetic elements essential for wheat aluminum resistance;
2) to examine the genetic and molecular basis underlying their functions in wheat, and
3) to develop wheat cultivars with improved quality traits.
Approach:
The approaches include using molecular, biochemical, and genetic tools for gene isolation and functional analysis and using traditional breeding and genetic strategies for developing aluminum-resistant wheat cultivars.
