Location: Crop Production and Pest Control Research
Project Number: 5020-21220-014-021-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Feb 1, 2024
End Date: Jan 31, 2025
Objective:
1. Optimize protocol for genotype independent transformation of wheat and barley
2. Develop tools for gene-editing in wheat and barley
Approach:
A previous NACA supported development of an efficient, genotype-independent protocol for wheat and barley transformation. This agreement will support further development of the technique and develop gene-editing tools for wheat and barley.
