Designing Future Wheat - Work Package 1
Developing improved germplasm for yield, biotic and abiotic stress using high throughput field phenotyping for monitoring performance and the genetic dissection of key traits. NIAB will be utilising germplasm selected from DFW, WISP and other projects to identify lines with traits capable of conferring drought tolerance under field conditions.
