My research project
- Description
- Objectives
- Outcomes
Design wheat varieties with different root system ideotypes.
- Developing elite wheat varieties with modified root traits (root angle and root biomass).
- Understanding the relationships between above and below ground for the elite wheat lines with modified root traits.
The elite wheat lines with modified root traits provide valuable genetic materials to study the value of root traits to support yield in different environments and soil types.
