Thank you @theGRDC for supporting these two pulses genomics and pre-breeding projects (Pluses Genetic Gains, and Chickpea Acid Soil), and our collaborators for their great collaboration and hard work on these projects. Excited to see our QTL hotspot introgression lines thriving
Our researchers have been busy over the last couple of weeks, with plenty of field trials underway! We recently took a trip to Merredin to check out the progress of two @theGRDC pulse projects that focus on boosting yield and crop resilience. Our first stop was for the Pulses
