Genomics for Triticeae improvement (TriticeaeGenome)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

For many years the size and complexity of the wheat, barley and rye genomes have hampered the development of genomics and its application to produce Triticeae crops with improved composition and characteristics. Recently, however, new and more efficient scientific capabilities and resources have been developed that allows robust genomic programs to be established for the Triticeae. TriticeaeGenome ...
