Development of genomics based breeding system in barley and wheat

◆Scientific technique research promotion program for agriculture, forestory and food industry
◆Leader: Kazuhiro Sato
◆Period: FY2013-FY2015

Domestic barley and wheat production is important to increase the food self sufficiency rate in Japan. Cultivation expansion may promote the use of lands with mineral problems. This project proposes the application of barley genome information on both barley and wheat improvements to develop the advanced genomics based breeding system in these crops.
