Research

MAS Wheat
Increase the competitiveness of public wheat breeding programs through the intensive use of modern selection technologies, mainly Marker Assisted Selection (MAS).
EuroWheat
Internet based platform aiming at collating and displaying host - and pathogen characteristics, and pesticide efficacy on a European scale.
Plant Breeding Institute: Cereal Rust Laboratory
Hosts the Australian Cereal Rust Control Program (ACRCP, established in 1973), which continues one of the longest running research efforts at the University of Sydney.
Cereal Disease Laboratory
The mission of the Cereal Disease Laboratory is to reduce losses in wheat, oat, and barley to major diseases including leaf rust, stem rust, and Fusarium head blight. This mission is accomplished through research on the biology of the pathogens that cause these diseases and on methods to enhance disease resistance in small grains.
