| Experts in Australia Find Ways to Improve Disease Resistance of Narrow-leafed Lupins |
|
Lupin experts from the Western Australia Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Murdoch University, Curtin University, and Australian Grain Technologies (AGT) commenced a 5-year project to develop the germplasm and pinpoint resistance genes to major diseases of narrow-leafed lupins (NLL): phomopsis, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), anthracnose, and sclerotinia. |

Lupin experts from the Western Australia Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Murdoch University, Curtin University, and Australian Grain Technologies (AGT) commenced a 5-year project to develop the germplasm and pinpoint resistance genes to major diseases of narrow-leafed lupins (NLL): phomopsis, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), anthracnose, and sclerotinia.
Narrow-leafed lupins are considered as a valuable crop used in feed and food, and also as ornamentals. Advanced tools such as higher-throughput phenotyping methods, conventional breeding methods, artificial intelligence, and molecular techniques will be harnessed to provide effective and robust screening options for breeding companies and researchers.
“Not only will we be addressing significant industry challenges for NLL, but this project also provides the opportunity to build capacity for Western Australia,” said Dr. Darshan Sharma, DPIRD portfolio manager for genetic improvement.
The project is funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and WA Agricultural Research Collaboration (WAARC).
