Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics and Government of Kazakhstan plan GE wheat and barley project
The Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics today signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Kazakhstan; a partnership that will produce improved varieties of wheat and barley more tolerant to drought, salinity and nutrient deficiencies and toxicities for both countries. [...] ‘We will also use genetic modification techniques to improve wheat and barley using a cis-genic approach which involves the use of wheat and barley genes to improve stress tolerance in wheat and barley plants.’
