Objectives
Increase the efficiency of breeding under water deficit 1. Novel indicators: “Identity cards” of genotypes: heritable traits
genetically related to yield
2. Natural variation: genomic regions controlling key traits; assess allelic diversity under a wide range of scenarios
3. Models for estimating the comparative advantages of alleles and traits under contrasting drought scenarios
Three crops• Maize• Durum wheat• Bread wheat

International partnership for wheat improvement
• A framework to identify synergies and facilitate collaborations for wheat improvement at the international level
• Created in 2011 following endorsement by the G20 Agriculture Ministries to improve food security

What do we get out of EU partnerships?
• Link to latest research advances and networks– Interactions with the very best
people• Access to technological
improvements and infrastructure• International benchmarking• Australian input into international
research agenda

Why are we regarded as good partners?• Simple structure and ease in
reaching agreement• Capabilities
– Research focus– Technical expertise– Crops of major importance to
Australia and Europe (wheat & barley)• High quality research• Strong links to technology delivery
