Demonstrating new bread wheat germplasm with potential for improved osmotic adjustment and thus yield under water limited environments
Lead organisation: SARDI
Hub members and partners involved: Crop Science Society of South Australia
Node: Roseworthy
Focus area: Crop and pasture management, Soil and land management
Project Category: Hub Projects
Project summary:
This project demonstrates and field-assesses wheat lines designed to accumulate salt in their leaves rather than exclude salt at root level, opening up the possibility of improved water use efficiency through osmotic adjustment.
