Genetic diversity matched to different farming system

Tools are being developed to better understand the genetic basis of flowering time and phenology traits in lentils Sowing and maturity times have become important levers that growers can use to optimise yield potential and yield resilience. Variation in these traits helps to make the best use of stored soil moisture and avoid heat, drought and frost stresses.Making use of these levers in pulses, however, requires an influx of novel genetic diversity to provide wider variation in flowering time and reproductive phenology as well as an understanding of interactions with environment and management practices.Associate Professor James Weller of the University of Tasmania is defining and characterising genetic variation in these important phenology traits.....
