Abstract

Climate change is a major global concern, with agricultural crop production being impacted now and in the future. Wheat, an important staple crop, is vulnerable to the changing climate and many major wheat-producing regions such as the West Australian wheat-belt have recently seen grain losses. This project aims at identifying the molecular mechanisms of wheat plants under the framework of future climate change scenarios. This project will benefit future breeding research programs by acquiring knowledge with cutting-edge proteomics and metabolomics approaches to develop wheat varieties that mitigate the predicted yield and grain quality losses due to climate change.
