A study from the University of Adelaide has discovered molecular pathways regulated by a gene traditionally used to control wheat-flowering behavior could be altered to achieve greater yields.

May 23 2024University of Adelaide

Dr. Scott Boden, a Future Fellow at the University of Adelaide's School of Agriculture, Food and Wine "The knowledge gained will inform breeders about gene targets of Ppd-1, for which we can use genetic diversity to design genotypes that might yield better." Australia is the world's largest exporter of wheat and produced 36,237,477 tonnes of the crop in 2022 – the country's largest annual harvest on record.
