Funded Activity Summary

Identifying climate-resilient wheat for a warmer, high CO2 world. This project aims to reveal which plant traits help maintain or increase crop yield under the CO2 and temperature conditions predicted for the next few decades, thus providing early insights for generating climate-resilient wheat. Wheat production is vital to global food security, but its yield decreases 5-6% per 1 degree Celsius of warming. Elevated CO2 may offset yield losses, but reduces grain protein and nutrients. As the first study to evaluate Australian wheat performance under the dual pressures of elevated CO2 and temperature, the project will deliver important fundamental knowledge on wheat productivity and quality resilience traits, novel inputs for future breeding programs, and help enable food security in a changing climate.
