Heat Tolerant Chickpea; update on heat tolerant chickpea lines
Hot finishes in Australia\u2019s northern region are resulting in lower chickpea quality and yield.\xa0\nIn a bid to improve heat tolerance in chickpea, GRDC has funded research that builds on advances already made under the Australian Research Council: Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture Hub.\xa0\xa0\nProfessor Richard Trethowan is Director of the University of Sydney\u2019s Plant Breeding Institute in Narrabri, New South Wales\u2026 where he and his team, are pursuing both genetic and agronomic solutions to improve the heat tolerance of chickpeas. To find out more we spoke with Professor Trethowan and his colleague Dr Angela Pattison.\nContact:\nrichard.trethowan@sydney.edu.au\xa0\nMore Information:\nInternational resources tapped for heat-tolerant chickpea germplasm for Australian breeding programs\nProject Code:\xa0UOS2112-002RTX\nLearn more about your ad choices.
