Trait discovery and deployment through mainstreaming the wild gene pool in barley and grass pea breeding programs to adapt to climate change
Start date
03 Mar 2016 End date
30 Jun 2021 Barley and grass pea are among few crops with potential to withstand drought, heat, salinity and can contribute to sustaining the livelihoods of poor communities linving in the drylands, used for food and feed purposes. However, their productivities are low due to major foliar diseases and pest (barley) and to Orobanche (grass pea). Pre-breeding through introgressing useful genes from wild relative species to overcome these limitations offers opportunities for ensuring substential genetic gains.
