On Dec. 15 2016 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) announced that our coordinated project “Validation, characterization and deployment of QTL for grain yield components in wheat” was accepted and awarded funding. You can read the NIFA’s announcement here and download the full text of our proposal. Six other projects focusing on research to improve wheat yields were also awarded.
