Sustained productivity gains in softwood plantations through enablement of single-step genomic selection

This project forms part of a series that aims to at least double the rate of genetic gain in pine tree breeding in Australia. This project will focus on the extensive network of trials and orchards in the Gippsland region of Victoria to further implement cutting-edge single-step genomic selection, provide pedigree and identity assurance for the radiata pine breeding and deployment populations, and deliver new, high-throughput sample processing methods.

Dairy BIO: Forage Project 1a

DairyBio is the dairy industry’s leading bioscience research program. Its forage program projects like this one are designed to breed plants with higher yield, higher energy, improved digestibility and increased persistence, that will result in increased milk production. DairyBio aims to have cultivars available in 2030 that will improve pasture productivity by up to $800 per hectare per year, and through hybrids, boost the biomass of perennial and annual ryegrasses by 20%. This includes the integration of phenomics, tools that consider how the environment and genes interact, into commercial breeding.

Story

Tree genomics program sequences 300 macadamia varieties to improve productivity and profitability for growers

The National Tree Genomics program is in the final stages of sequencing over 300 macadamia wild and cultivated varieties.

 

The national program harnesses cutting-edge genetic technologies for the benefit of Australian horticultural tree crop industries. New tools are currently being developed that will equip Australian plant breeders to deliver new varieties with key productivity and profitability traits. New tools will also stem from this program for growers to enhance farm productivity.
